Description

StarTech 45PATCH100BK Cat5e Network Cable

Overview

This 100-foot StarTech 45PATCH100BK Cat5e cable provides a reliable, high-performance connection for your network devices. It's engineered for demanding environments, supporting up to 2.5Gbps data transfer rates and capable of delivering up to 100W of power via 802.3bt PoE, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like advanced IP cameras or wireless access points. The CM-rated PVC jacket ensures safety compliance for in-wall installations.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring a Cat5e Ethernet connection, including standard 10/100/1000Mbps Ethernet ports and newer 2.5Gbps (2.5GBASE-T) ports. It supports IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++) standards, delivering up to 100W to compatible devices such as high-performance IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-powered equipment. It functions with any RJ-45 network jack or device.

Installation Notes

The 24 AWG stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for installation, while the 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent signal integrity. The CM-rated jacket is designed for use in commercial building environments where fire safety codes apply. Ensure the cable is not subjected to excessive bending radii (minimum 4x cable diameter) to maintain performance and longevity.
