Description

StarTech 45PATCH50GR 50ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech 45PATCH50GR is a 50-foot, gray, Category 5e unshielded twisted pair (UTP) patch cable designed for reliable network connectivity. Its 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and durability for network drops in commercial environments, including surveillance systems requiring high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE). This cable supports up to 100W of power delivery, compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt standard, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras or network switches without needing separate power injectors.

Compatibility

This CAT5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces. It is specifically suited for deployments requiring high-power PoE, including IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 (PoE++) and Type 4 devices. This includes modern IP cameras, wireless access points, and network switches that draw up to 100W. Its 100 MHz bandwidth is sufficient for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) data transmission, ensuring both power and data integrity for connected equipment.

Installation Notes

The cable features a CM-rated PVC jacket, suitable for in-wall or riser installations where fire safety codes require specific cable ratings. The stranded copper conductors provide better flexibility than solid core, simplifying routing in tight spaces. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer enhanced corrosion resistance and reliable signal transfer. Ensure connected devices and network infrastructure support 802.3bt for full 100W PoE delivery.
