Black Box EVCRB83-0001

Overview

The Black Box EVCRB83-0001 is a one-foot Cat5e crossover Ethernet patch cable designed to provide fast and reliable data transfer between devices positioned close to each other, such as switches in the same rack or laptops on a workbench. Tested to 350 MHz, it offers performance well beyond the standard 100 MHz requirement, ensuring stable Gigabit Ethernet connections with reduced packet loss. Its compact length and flexible construction make it ideal for tight spaces and frequent handling.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable is designed to connect devices that require a crossover connection, such as linking two switches directly or connecting two computers without a hub or switch. Its Cat5e specification supports Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks, making it compatible with a wide range of networking equipment that uses RJ-45 ports. The compact length and flexible design fit well in dense rack environments or desktop setups where space is limited.

Ideal uses and environments

The EVCRB83-0001 is well suited for IT professionals managing data centers, technicians assembling test rigs, and home users needing quick, direct connections between devices. Its short length and durable construction make it a strong choice for environments where cables are frequently connected and disconnected, such as labs, classrooms, and repair stations. The red jacket helps quickly identify network segments, which is valuable during troubleshooting or network organization.

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.
