StarTech 45PATCH6RD 6ft Cat5e UTP Patch Cable
Overview
This 6-foot, red Cat5e patch cable connects network devices like IP cameras, NVRs, and switches. Its snagless design prevents connector damage during installation, crucial for maintaining network integrity in surveillance or data center environments. The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure reliable data transmission up to 1Gbps, and the CM fire rating allows for installation in walls or between floors where plenum-rated cable is required.
Compatibility
The 45PATCH6RD is compatible with any standard RJ-45 network port. It is suitable for connecting 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet devices, including most IP surveillance cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, routers, and workstations. Its 100W PoE support makes it ideal for powering devices like IP cameras or wireless access points directly over the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation by eliminating the need for separate power adapters.
Installation Notes
The snagless boot design protects the RJ-45 connector tabs, preventing accidental disconnections or damage during cable pulls. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates suitability for use in non-plenum building spaces, offering a safer alternative to standard PVC cables in certain installations. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending or tension to maintain signal integrity and longevity.
