It is intended for use within Crestron system equipment racks and AV enclosures to connect Crestron network switches, control processors, and other RJ45-equipped devices at standard patch lengths. The cable is tested and warranted by Crestron to ensure reliable Ethernet and Cresnet connectivity in professional installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003ePatch cable quality directly affects network performance and long-term reliability in AV and control system racks. The CBL-CAT5E-7 is terminated by Crestron to known specifications, providing an alternative to field-terminated cables that may introduce wiring errors or marginal terminations in professional installations. At 7 feet, it is well-suited for rack-to-rack or device-to-patch-panel connections within a standard 19-inch equipment rack or adjacent rack bays. The black jacket coordinates with Crestron equipment aesthetics and common rack cable management systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCAT5e specification; supports 100Base-TX and 1000Base-T Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory-terminated RJ45 connectors on both ends for reliable, tested connectivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e7 ft (2.13 m) length suitable for equipment rack and AV enclosure patch runs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack PVC jacket for clean rack appearance and cable management\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWarranted by Crestron as a tested and certified cable assembly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTypical Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatch connections between Crestron control processors and network switches in AV racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevice-to-patch-panel connections in 19-inch equipment racks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShort-run Ethernet connections between adjacent rack-mounted Crestron components\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCresnet or Ethernet connections in Crestron CAEN automation enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCable standard:\u003c\/strong\u003e CAT5e (TIA\/EIA-568-B.2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e RJ45 (8P8C) on both ends, factory terminated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7 ft (2.13 m)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eJacket color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupported speeds:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/100\/1000 Mbps Ethernet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCan the CBL-CAT5E-7 be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE)?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCAT5e cable supports PoE and PoE+ at standard IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at power levels. The CBL-CAT5E-7 may be used for PoE applications; however, verify that the specific switch port and device specifications are within CAT5e PoE limits before use in high-power PoE applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes Crestron offer this cable in other lengths?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Crestron offers the CBL-CAT5E series in multiple lengths. Common lengths include 3 ft (CBL-CAT5E-3), 7 ft (CBL-CAT5E-7), 14 ft (CBL-CAT5E-14), and 25 ft (CBL-CAT5E-25), among others. Select the length appropriate for your rack layout to minimize excess cable in the enclosure.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Crestron","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47759564865772,"sku":"CBL-CAT5E-7","price":110.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/7982\/4364\/files\/uc_f9867883-59da-429c-850e-efaeccd94fab.png?v=1782145221","url":"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/crestron-cbl-cat5e-7","provider":"Creation Networks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
