Black Box EYN860A-PB-1000

Overview

The Black Box EYN860A-PB-1000 is a bulk spool of CAT5e Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable network connectivity over long distances. With a bandwidth tested up to 350 MHz, it supports voice, 10BASE-T, and 100BASE-TX data transmissions while minimizing signal loss and crosstalk. Its plenum-rated CMP jacket allows safe installation in air-handling spaces, making it suitable for commercial buildings such as offices, schools, and hospitals.

Key features

• 350 MHz sweep testing provides extra bandwidth headroom for stable network performance.
• Four twisted pairs of solid copper conductors reduce attenuation and maintain signal integrity over long runs.
• Plenum-rated CMP jacket ensures compliance with building codes for installation in air plenums and return-air spaces.
• Built-in pull box and internal rip cord enable quick and clean jacket removal, speeding up installation.
• Sequential two-foot markings on the cable simplify measurement and help reduce waste during deployment.
• TAA compliance and GSA certification guarantee suitability for government and regulated environments.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports standard CAT5e network protocols including 10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX, making it compatible with a wide range of Ethernet devices such as switches, routers, and network interface cards. Its solid copper conductors and twisted pair design help maintain consistent throughput in structured cabling systems.

Installation and setup

The cable’s design includes practical features that simplify installation. The pull box packaging allows easy dispensing of the cable, while the internal rip cord helps technicians strip the jacket cleanly without damaging the conductors. Sequential markings every two feet assist in precise cable measurement, reducing material waste and installation time.

Ideal uses and environments

This CAT5e cable is well suited for commercial and institutional environments where network reliability and code compliance are critical. It works well in office buildings, schools, hospitals, and government facilities, especially where cable must be routed through plenum spaces such as drop ceilings or ventilation returns. Its TAA compliance also makes it a strong choice for federal contractors and regulated installations.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
