StarTech M45PATCH15YL 15ft Cat5e Ethernet Cable
Overview
The StarTech M45PATCH15YL is a 15-foot yellow Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. It supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and is rated for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE) using the IEEE 802.3bt standard. This cable is suitable for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points that require both data and high-power PoE, ensuring a clean, single-cable installation. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides durability for in-wall or riser applications.
Compatibility
This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) and is backward compatible with 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet networks. Crucially, it supports IEEE 802.3bt Type 4 (up to 100W) PoE, making it suitable for high-power devices like advanced PTZ cameras, multi-band wireless access points, or other PoE++ endpoints. The TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard ensures broad interoperability with standard network infrastructure.
Installation Notes
The cable jacket is CMG rated for use in vertical runs within walls or between floors, offering a degree of fire resistance. The operating temperature range is -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F), suitable for most indoor environments. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, but care should be taken to avoid excessive bending or kinking, which can degrade performance. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain the 1 Gbps performance and PoE delivery.
