Black Box 4ft CAT5e 100MHz UTP Snagless Patch Cable (Orange)

The Black Box CAT5EPC-004-OR is a Category 5e unshielded twisted pair patch cable designed for dependable network connections across Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet equipment. With a length of 4 feet, it is the right size for linking a desktop, laptop, game console, or access point to a nearby wall port, or for patching between ports in a rack without leaving excess slack.

Rated for 100 MHz, the cable moves voice, data, and video traffic efficiently and also carries Power over Ethernet. It meets the CAT5e standard, so it supports 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 10BASE-T applications. Plug it into a switch, router, or PoE-enabled device and the connection is ready without additional setup.

Each RJ-45 connector is protected by a molded snagless boot that covers the latch. The boot reduces strain on the plug and prevents the latch from catching on other cables when you pull it through a bundle or remove it from a port, which helps the cable stay in service longer.

The orange jacket stands out in crowded cable runs, making it easier to trace a line during troubleshooting or when you want to color-code different network segments. If you maintain a small business network, set up classroom labs, or manage a home office, the cable gives you reliable performance and quick identification at a glance.

Highlights:

• Conforms to CAT5e 100 MHz specification for Gigabit and Fast Ethernet links
• Length of 4 ft keeps short runs tidy and manageable
• Molded snagless boot protects the latch and adds strain relief
