StarTech 45PATCH1GR 1ft Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
This 1-foot gray Cat5e patch cable, model 45PATCH1GR, provides a reliable short-run connection for network devices. Its CM-rated PVC jacket ensures it meets fire safety standards for in-wall installations. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility and durability for deployments in tight spaces or where frequent cable movement is expected, such as connecting network switches to patch panels or directly to end devices like IP cameras or access control readers.
Compatibility
Designed for standard Ethernet networking, this cable is compatible with any RJ-45 terminated network device operating at up to 1 Gbps. It supports 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), making it suitable for powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones without requiring a separate power supply. Use this cable for connecting equipment within the same rack or for short distances between network closets.
Installation Notes
The cable features snagless boots to protect the RJ-45 connectors during installation and removal, preventing damage to the locking tab. The stranded copper construction offers better flexibility than solid core cable, but it is not recommended for runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet) due to signal degradation. The CM rating indicates suitability for use in walls and between floors in commercial buildings.
