Description

StarTech M45PATCH15WH 15ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech M45PATCH15WH is a 15-foot, white, Category 5e (CAT5e) Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. It features stranded copper conductors for flexibility and 50-micron gold-plated RJ45 connectors to ensure consistent signal integrity. This cable is suitable for standard Ethernet networking and specifically supports high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, making it a solid choice for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, or other PoE-enabled devices without needing separate power injectors. The CMG rating indicates it's suitable for use in wall or ceiling plenums where fire safety codes apply.

Compatibility

This CAT5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces, including Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) and Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps) devices. It supports IEEE 802.3bt standards, enabling it to deliver up to 100W of power for PoE devices. This makes it suitable for powering high-demand equipment such as advanced IP cameras, high-density wireless access points, and other IEEE 802.3bt-compliant devices. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F). Its PVC jacket material and CMG fire rating make it suitable for installation in commercial building spaces. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction provides flexibility for routing in tight spaces, while the 50-micron gold-plated connectors offer corrosion resistance for stable connections. The cable is 15 feet in length, providing moderate reach for device connections.
