StarTech M45PATCH3BK 3ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable
Overview
The StarTech M45PATCH3BK is a 3-foot black Cat5e UTP patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity in surveillance and general IT deployments. Its 24 AWG stranded copper construction ensures flexibility and durability, while the CMG fire rating makes it suitable for in-wall or general-purpose installations where safety standards are a consideration. This cable supports 100 MHz performance, meeting the requirements for 10/100/1000 Base-T Ethernet networks, and is rated to handle up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying deployments by eliminating the need for separate power supplies for compatible devices.
Compatibility
This M45PATCH3BK cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector, including IP cameras, NVRs, network switches, routers, and workstations. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure. Specifically for surveillance, it is suitable for connecting IP cameras to network switches or NVRs, provided the switch supports PoE for powered devices.
Installation Notes
The cable operates within a temperature range of -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F) and can be stored between 0°C to 30°C (32°F to 86°F). It is designed for environments with up to 60% relative humidity. The stranded copper conductors offer better flexibility than solid core cables, making them easier to route in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity.
