Black Box 7ft CAT5e 100MHz Snagless Ethernet Cable (White)

Overview

The Black Box CAT5EPC-007-WH is a 7-foot Ethernet cable designed to provide reliable network connections in Fast Ethernet environments. It supports CAT5e standards with frequencies up to 100MHz, enabling efficient transmission of voice, data, and audio/video signals. This cable also supports Power over Ethernet, allowing compatible devices to receive power through the same cable used for data transfer.

Constructed with unshielded twisted pair (UTP) stranded conductors, it offers flexibility and durability for easy routing through tight spaces or around corners. The molded snagless boot protects the RJ-45 connectors from damage and prevents the clip from catching on other cables during installation or removal. Its white color aids in easy identification within complex wiring setups, making it suitable for both home and office networks.

This cable works well with 1000BASE-T (Gigabit Ethernet), 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T networks, making it a practical choice for connecting computers, routers, switches, and other network devices.
