Description

StarTech M45PATCH20BL 20 ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech M45PATCH20BL is a 20-foot blue Cat5e UTP patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in surveillance and general IT deployments. Its construction supports high-speed data transfer up to 1 Gbps and is rated for Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, access control panels, or wireless access points without needing a separate power supply. The CMG fire rating indicates it's suitable for use within walls and between floors in commercial buildings.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. It supports the IEEE 802.3bt standard for high-power PoE delivery, ensuring compatibility with devices that draw up to 100W. It functions with network switches, routers, IP cameras, NVRs, and other network-attached devices that utilize Cat5e or higher cabling standards.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors for flexibility, ideal for installations where the cable may be moved or routed around obstacles. The PVC jacket is rated CMG (Communications Multipurpose General) for use in general-purpose horizontal applications in commercial buildings. Operating temperature range is -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F).
