Hosa CAT-5100BK Cat 5e Network Cable — 8P8C to Same, 100ft Black
CAT-5100BK Overview
The Hosa CAT-5100BK is a 100-foot Cat 5e Ethernet cable engineered for reliable high-speed local area network connectivity in professional AV installations, broadcast facilities, houses of worship, and system integration projects. Built with Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) construction, it minimizes crosstalk across runs, and its 350 MHz performance rating makes it fully compatible with 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet networks. Terminated with 8P8C connectors on both ends, this cable delivers a secure, standardized connection for network switches, routers, media servers, and AV-over-IP devices. It is a practical choice for integrators and engineers who need dependable, standards-compliant cabling at a professional grade.
The black jacket blends cleanly into rack environments and finished installations, and backward compatibility with Cat 5 and Cat 3 standards ensures flexibility across mixed-generation network infrastructure.
