Description

StarTech 45PATCH15BK 15 ft Black Cat5e Snagless Patch Cable

Overview

This 15-foot black StarTech 45PATCH15BK Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable connection for network devices. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, making it suitable for structured cabling deployments in offices or data centers. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for routing through conduits or under flooring.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all 10/100/1000 Mbps network devices, including IP cameras, network switches, routers, and servers. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras and wireless access points without requiring a separate power adapter. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating allows for use in-wall and in-ceiling applications where fire safety codes require specific cable ratings.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, which offer greater flexibility than solid core cables, simplifying installation in tight spaces. The snagless boot design protects the RJ45 connector tabs during insertion and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The CM fire rating indicates it meets standards for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings.
