Description

StarTech 45PATCH25BK 25ft Cat5e Snagless Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech 45PATCH25BK is a 25-foot, black Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in various deployments, including surveillance systems and IT infrastructure. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation and removal, ensuring a secure and stable connection between network devices such as IP cameras, NVRs, switches, and workstations. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility and durability for frequent handling or routing through conduits.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces. It is suitable for connecting devices within 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet networks. Use it to link IP cameras to network switches, connect NVRs to your network backbone, or patch workstations to wall jacks. The 25-foot length is practical for moderate distances within a rack, desk area, or between adjacent network closets.

Installation Notes

The cable features snagless RJ-45 connectors, which protect the locking tab from damage and ensure the cable remains securely connected. The CM-rated PVC jacket is suitable for in-wall installations where a general-purpose cable is permitted by code, offering a balance of flexibility and fire safety. Stranded copper conductors (24 AWG) offer better flexibility than solid core but are not recommended for runs exceeding 100 meters (328 feet).
