Description

StarTech 45PATCH15RD 15ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

This 15-foot (4.6m) red Cat5e patch cable, model 45PATCH15RD, provides a reliable network connection for devices requiring up to 100 MHz performance. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, while the CM-rated PVC jacket ensures durability for in-wall or general-purpose use. The stranded copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver consistent signal integrity for network devices, including those supporting high-power PoE applications.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat5e performance specifications. It supports IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering high-demand devices such as advanced IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones that draw up to the full 100W capability of 802.3bt Type 4 devices. It is also backward compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards.

Installation Notes

The 24 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing in tight spaces. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) fire rating indicates suitability for use in wall cavities and between floors in commercial buildings, adhering to safety standards. The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 clip, simplifying installation and removal without requiring tools.
