Product Features
Technical Overview
This CAT5e cable meets TIA/EIA-568-B.2 standards, delivering consistent performance for Ethernet networks. The solid copper conductors provide superior signal integrity over long distances compared to stranded cables, reducing attenuation and crosstalk.
With bare wire ends, the cable is intended for termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels, offering flexibility for custom installations. The 350 MHz bandwidth exceeds the base 100 MHz requirement for CAT5e, supporting enhanced data throughput and future-proofing for emerging network demands.
This section brings together practical product details such as Cable Type, Cable Length, Connector Type on First End, Product Color, so buyers can judge configuration, deployment fit, and day-to-day suitability with less guesswork.

User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this CAT5e cable?
This CAT5e cable supports data transfer speeds up to 1 Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its 1000-foot length. With a 350 MHz bandwidth, it exceeds the standard 100 MHz requirement, ensuring reliable performance for high-speed network applications including video streaming, large file transfers, and VoIP communications.
Can this cable be used for outdoor installations?
No, this cable is designed for indoor use. It features a CMR-rated PVC jacket, which is suitable for riser applications in vertical runs between floors within buildings. For outdoor deployments, a cable with a CMX or direct-burial rating would be required to withstand environmental elements like moisture and UV exposure.
What does F/UTP shielding mean, and why is it important?
F/UTP stands for Foiled/Unshielded Twisted Pair, indicating that the cable has an overall foil shield around all four twisted pairs but no individual pair shielding. This shielding reduces electromagnetic interference (EMI) and radio frequency interference (RFI), which is crucial in environments with electrical noise from machinery, lighting, or other cables, ensuring stable data transmission and minimizing errors.
How do I terminate the bare wire ends of this cable?
The bare wire ends require termination with RJ45 connectors, keystone jacks, or patch panels using a crimping tool or punch-down tool. This allows for custom cable lengths and connections tailored to your network layout. It's recommended to follow TIA/EIA-568 wiring standards (T568A or T568B) for consistency and optimal performance in Ethernet networks.
Is this cable TAA compliant, and what does that mean?
Yes, this cable is TAA (Trade Agreements Act) compliant. TAA compliance ensures that the product is manufactured in a designated country, making it eligible for procurement by U.S. government agencies and other public sector entities. This compliance supports sourcing requirements for contracts that mandate adherence to trade agreements, enhancing its suitability for institutional and government projects.
What is the warranty coverage for this bulk network cable?
This cable comes with a lifetime limited warranty from Black Box. This warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship for the life of the product, providing long-term assurance of quality and reliability. It reflects the manufacturer's confidence in the cable's durability and performance in professional network installations.
