Description

StarTech 45PATCH15OR Cat5e Network Cable

Overview

This 15-foot StarTech 45PATCH15OR Cat5e cable ensures robust, high-speed network connectivity for your surveillance or IT infrastructure. Designed for demanding environments, it supports 1Gbps data transfer rates and is rated for up to 100W of Power over Ethernet (PoE) using the IEEE 802.3bt standard. The CM-rated PVC jacket provides fire safety compliance, making it suitable for in-wall installations. The stranded copper conductors and 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable signal integrity and durability for critical network links.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with any network device requiring an RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, and computers. It is specifically suited for powering and connecting high-demand PoE devices such as PTZ cameras or high-bandwidth wireless access points that utilize the 802.3bt standard.

Installation Notes

The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating indicates this cable is suitable for use in riser pathways within commercial buildings, providing a level of fire safety. The stranded 24 AWG copper conductors offer flexibility, which can be advantageous during installation in tight spaces. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and PoE performance.
