The Black Box CAT5EPC-020-OR is an orange CAT5e Ethernet patch cable that measures 20 feet and provides reliable connectivity for desktops, servers, and other networked devices in home offices, classrooms, and commercial racks.
The cable operates at frequencies up to 100 MHz, satisfying the CAT5e standard. It supports 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 1000BASE-T, so it handles everyday tasks such as file sharing, IP phone calls, streaming media, and device management. Because it can also carry Power over Ethernet, a single run delivers both data and power to access points, security cameras, or VoIP phones, simplifying installation.
Each end is terminated with an RJ-45 connector tucked inside a snagless molded boot. The boot shields the latch during pulls through cable trays or crowded patch panels, preventing broken tabs and extending service life. Installers can re-patch the cable many times without worrying about damaged connectors.
Unshielded twisted pair construction maintains signal integrity over the 20-foot distance while keeping the cable flexible enough for tight bends behind desks or switches. Component level verification to ANSI/TIA-568-C2 provides assurance that the cable will perform correctly in structured cabling systems that mandate standards compliance.
The orange jacket offers quick visual identification, which helps when tracing lines for troubleshooting or when segmenting networks by color. If future projects call for different lengths or hues, the same Black Box series is available in several options, making it easy to keep wiring organized and consistent.
