Description

StarTech M45PATCH20GR 20ft Gray Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

This 20-foot gray StarTech M45PATCH20GR Cat5e UTP patch cable provides a reliable connection for network devices. It's constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and CMG-rated PVC jacket for in-wall installations. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure a solid connection for data transmission up to 1 Gbps. This cable is designed to support high-power PoE applications, making it suitable for powering network cameras, access control devices, and wireless access points.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all 10/100/1000 Mbps network devices, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and workstations. It supports IEEE 802.3bt standards, delivering up to 100W of power, making it ideal for high-power PoE devices such as PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, and other power-hungry network equipment. Use with any RJ-45 terminated network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F). The CMG rating indicates it is suitable for use in vertical or horizontal building runs. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or damage to the stranded copper conductors, which could impact performance or PoE delivery.
