FEATURES
• Additional noise protection in high-
noise environments.
• Reduced signal breakup at maximum
transmission distances.

• PVC or plenum versions.
Run your Ethernet network on IEEE 802.3 Transceiver Cables.
OVERVIEW
The right connections are vital to the trouble-free
operation of your network. You can lose performance
drastically, for example, by getting false or excessive collision
indications on your network when your cable is not grounded
to the right pin. That’s why you need BLACK BOX
®
Version 2.0
and IEEE 802.3 Transceiver Cables. Available in two versions
(Industrial and Office), these cables are perfect for any
operating environment. The Industrial version is best for in-
wall installations from the Ethernet transceiver to a wallplate.
We also have an Office Environment Transceiver Cable
when you need to run through tight spaces from the
wallplate to your equipment. This cable is lightweight and
flexible enough to be easily twisted, turned, and looped
around office furniture up to 16 feet (4.9 m) from the
wallplate.
The plenum versions of these cables meet all NEC
®
Compliant Cable Codes for air plenum installation; PVC
versions are also available.
Transceiver Cables are available with straight connectors
or right-angle connectors. Right-angle connectors enable you
to make hook-ups where space is at a premium. Right-angle
hoods at each end of the cables have male or female
connectors that make installation easy.
You can run the Industrial Transceiver Cable to a maximum
length of 164 feet (50 m) without significant signal degrada-
tion. Also, the isolated ground shield of all 802.3 cable gives
additional protection in noisy operating environments.
The results you get from your network will depend largely
on the cable you can choose to run it. Your data is too
valuable to be crippled by the wrong cable or cable that’s
less than top quality. That’s why we use only the finest
components on the market.

Ethernet Spine
• There are three Ethernet standards: Version 1, Version 2,
and 802.3. In Version 2, all shields are connected to Pin 1
and the AUI connector shell. Most Ethernet cables are built
this way.
• In Version 802.3, all shields of the individual signal and
power pairs are connected to Pin 4. The overall AUI cable
shield is connected to the AUI connector shell to provide
a cable ground.
• Most Ethernet Version 1 equipment uses Version 2-type
cables.
