Product Overview
Belden DataTuff EV502T1 B59020 — 20-Meter Ruggedized Cat 5e Industrial Ethernet Cord Set, 600V TC, Beldfoil + Braid Shield, RJ45
Condition
Single unit available. Unused NOS — undeployed and in good condition. Photo observations confirm B59020 markings and the 20M length designation on the cable. The unit appears to have been prepared for a conduit pull — coiled with cable tie in place — whether this was done at the factory or prior to storage is not confirmed. No signs of damage or use. Visual inspection only. Function testing not performed.
Carefully packed and shipped same business day from our Idaho warehouse. Online since 1999. Honest equipment and straightforward service.
No hassle resolution if there is an issue. Serving customers since 1999.
Product Overview
Belden EV502T1 B59020 is a 20-meter DataTuff ruggedized Cat 5e Ethernet cord set from the EV502T1 product line. Pre-assembled with RJ45 (8P8C) plugs on both ends — plug-to-plug, ready to install. Rated 600V TC (Tray Cable) with Beldfoil and tinned copper braid shielding for noise rejection in electrically demanding environments. Four-pair, 18 AWG stranded tinned copper conductors. TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) jacket for flexibility and resistance to industrial conditions. Connectors carry an IP20 rating — suitable for protected enclosures and panel environments, not for exposed wet or high-dust locations without additional protection.

- Control panel and cabinet Ethernet runs where rugged cabling is specified
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the IP20 rating, and does it mean this cable is not waterproof?
IP20 means the RJ45 connectors are protected against solid objects larger than 12mm — fingers, for example — but offer no protection against water or dust. The cable body is ruggedized for industrial environments, but the connection points should be housed in a sealed enclosure if moisture or heavy dust is a concern. For fully sealed connector requirements, look for IP67 or IP68 rated cord sets.
Is this cable compatible with standard Cat 5e network switches and devices?
Yes. It terminates in standard RJ45 (8P8C) plugs and operates at Cat 5e performance levels — compatible with any device using a standard RJ45 Ethernet port rated for Cat 5e or Cat 5. It is specifically noted as suitable for EtherNet/IP networks and general industrial Ethernet applications.
Does the cable require a specific conduit or mounting system?
No proprietary conduit or mounting hardware is required. The cable is rated as TC (Tray Cable), meaning it is designed for cable tray, conduit, and open wiring applications in industrial installations. The unit observed appears pre-coiled for a conduit pull — it installs using standard industrial cable management methods.
Is a manual or documentation included?
Not included. This is a cable assembly — installation documentation is not typically packaged with the product.
Twenty meters of shielded Cat 5e in a ruggedized shell — this is the cable for the run that matters, where a standard patch cord would not last the week. If there is a conduit waiting and a device that needs a solid network connection, this one is ready to go in.
