Description

StarTech M45PATCH10YL 10 ft Yellow Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech M45PATCH10YL is a 10-foot, yellow Cat5e Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connections in environments where cable color coding is critical for organization. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability, making it suitable for frequent handling or routing through conduits. This cable is rated for 100 MHz performance, supporting standard Ethernet networking speeds up to 1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) over its 10-foot length.

Compatibility

This Cat5e patch cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces, including those found on network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and workstations. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with most network infrastructure. Use it to connect devices within the same rack, from a wall plate to a device, or for short-distance runs between network equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features a PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) jacket with a CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) fire rating, suitable for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings where a CMG rating is required. The operating temperature range is -20 to 60 C (-4 to 140 F), and storage temperature should be kept between 0 to 30 C (32 to 86 F). The stranded copper construction offers good flexibility but is not intended for fixed-in-wall installations requiring solid conductors.
