Black Box 5ft CAT5e Snagless Ethernet Patch Cable (Yellow)

The Black Box CAT5EPC-005-YL is a five foot Ethernet patch cable in yellow that gives you dependable CAT5e performance without any fuss. It arrives terminated with standard RJ45 connectors, so you can plug it directly into a switch, router, patch panel, or networked device and get to work right away.

Engineered for 100 MHz operation, the cable supports popular network speeds such as 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T. That means it can carry everything from everyday file transfers to Voice over IP calls, streaming video, and Power over Ethernet devices with steady, error-free throughput.

A molded boot surrounds each connector to stop the release tab from snagging or breaking when you pull the cable through crowded racks or behind desks. This same molding adds strain relief, which reduces wear at the point where the jacket meets the plug and extends the overall life of the cable.

The unshielded twisted pair design keeps the cable slim and flexible, making it easy to route in tight spaces or bundle with other lines for neat cable management. The bright yellow jacket lets you color-code connections, a simple way to identify specific segments of a network at a glance.

Whether you are linking a laptop to a wall jack in a home office, patching a VoIP phone on a workbench, or running a short drop from a switch to a wireless access point, the Black Box CAT5EPC-005-YL delivers stable connectivity in a compact form factor that is easy to deploy and maintain.
