Description

StarTech 45PATCH20GR 20ft Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech 45PATCH20GR is a 20-foot, snagless Category 5e UTP patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in environments requiring structured cabling. Its stranded copper conductors and CM-rated PVC jacket ensure durability and performance for data transmission up to 1 Gbps. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, or switches in a rack or across a short distance where a specific length is required.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ-45 connectors, including most IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, routers, and workstations. It adheres to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Category 5e standards, ensuring interoperability with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The snagless design protects the RJ-45 connector tabs during installation and removal, preventing accidental disconnections. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces compared to solid core cables. The CM-rated jacket is suitable for in-wall installations where a general-purpose fire rating is required.
