Description

StarTech 45PATCH100GR 100ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech 45PATCH100GR is a 100-foot gray Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. Featuring 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors, this cable ensures consistent data transmission up to 1 Gbps. Its CM (Communications Multipurpose) fire rating makes it suitable for use in wall or ceiling spaces where plenum-rated cable is required, providing a safe and robust connection for surveillance systems, network switches, and other IP devices. The 45PATCH100GR supports high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, delivering up to 100W via the IEEE 802.3bt standard.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network devices, including IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, and workstations. It is specifically designed to support high-power PoE devices requiring up to 100W, such as advanced PTZ cameras or high-density wireless access points, ensuring sufficient power delivery without voltage drop over its 100-foot length. It meets the performance requirements for 100 MHz applications, ensuring compatibility with 1000BASE-T Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Installation Notes

The cable jacket is constructed from CM-rated PVC, allowing for installation in-wall or in ceiling spaces. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors provide durable, corrosion-resistant connections. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or excessive strain, which can degrade performance and longevity.
