Black Box 10ft CAT5e Snagless UTP Ethernet Patch Cable (Red)

The Black Box CAT5EPC-010-RD is a 10 foot CAT5e patch cable that keeps data, voice, audio or video traffic moving smoothly across Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks. With a 100 MHz rating it handles 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, so you can drop it into almost any home, office or small-business rack with confidence.

Each end carries an RJ-45 male connector protected by a molded boot. The boot’s snagless guard shields the latch, stopping accidental breaks when you pull the cable through tight pathways or along the back of a patch panel. Because the cable uses unshielded twisted pair construction, it stays flexible and easy to route while still controlling crosstalk.

The vivid red jacket helps you trace individual links at a glance, whether you are organizing a color-coded patch bay, separating VoIP handsets from PCs or flagging a PoE run to a ceiling-mounted access point. At ten feet in length, it is long enough to reach between nearby devices yet short enough to keep cable management tidy.

Install the cable anywhere you need solid performance without unnecessary bulk, from a desktop switch to a wall outlet or between a PoE injector and a network camera. Like every member of the Black Box Connect series, it is tested to meet or surpass CAT5e standards, giving you reliability you can count on day after day.
