Black Box EYN854A-PB-1000

Overview

The Black Box EYN854A-PB-1000 is a 1000-foot bulk Ethernet cable designed to support high-performance networking for both voice and data transmission. Operating at frequencies up to 350 MHz, this CAT5e cable is compatible with 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, and 622-Mbps ATM networks, making it a versatile choice for various network infrastructures. Its unshielded twisted pair (UTP) construction helps minimize interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable and clear signal delivery over long distances.

With a plenum-rated jacket, the cable meets fire safety standards required for installation in air-handling spaces such as ceilings and raised floors. The built-in longitudinal rip cord simplifies jacket removal during installation, while the descending two-foot markings allow for accurate measurement and cutting, streamlining the setup process.

Connectivity and compatibility

This cable supports a broad range of Ethernet standards, making it suitable for office networks, data centers, and enterprise environments. Its CAT5e specification ensures compatibility with most modern networking equipment that requires up to 350 MHz bandwidth, including switches, routers, and network interface cards designed for 10/100 Mbps and ATM applications.

The unshielded twisted pair design balances performance and cost, providing effective noise reduction without the complexity of shielded cables, which is ideal for typical commercial and institutional installations.

Installation and setup

The plenum-rated jacket allows safe installation in spaces where air circulates, such as above ceilings or under raised floors, complying with fire safety regulations. The longitudinal rip cord speeds up the process of removing the outer jacket, reducing installation time and effort. Additionally, the clearly marked two-foot increments help installers measure and cut the cable accurately, minimizing waste and ensuring precise runs.

This cable is well suited for network professionals who need a dependable and code-compliant solution for large-scale wiring projects or upgrades.

Ideal uses and environments

This Ethernet cable fits well in commercial office networks, data centers, and government facilities where compliance and performance are critical. Its plenum rating and TAA compliance make it a strong choice for installations requiring adherence to strict safety and procurement standards. Whether upgrading existing infrastructure or deploying new networks, this cable provides a solid foundation for reliable connectivity.

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.
