StarTech 45PATCH50BK 50ft Cat5e Network Cable
Overview
This 50-foot StarTech 45PATCH50BK Cat5e cable provides a reliable connection for your network devices. It's constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and a CM-rated PVC jacket, ensuring durability and performance for standard Ethernet applications up to 1 Gbps. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer superior conductivity and corrosion resistance. This cable is engineered to support high-power PoE devices, handling up to 100W via the IEEE 802.3bt standard, making it suitable for powering IP cameras, wireless access points, or other high-demand network equipment without the need for separate power supplies.
Compatibility
The 45PATCH50BK is a standard Cat5e cable and is compatible with all 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet networks. It supports NBASE-T speeds of 2.5/5 Gbps, making it backward compatible with older standards while providing headroom for emerging network technologies. Use this cable with any network device requiring an RJ-45 connection, including switches, routers, computers, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. Its high PoE capacity makes it particularly well-suited for powering devices that draw significant wattage, such as high-performance wireless access points or advanced PTZ IP cameras.
Installation Notes
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) rating on the PVC jacket indicates this cable is suitable for use in-wall and between floors in commercial building spaces, offering a balance of performance and safety. The stranded copper construction provides flexibility, which can be beneficial during installation in tight spaces or when routing around obstacles. Ensure proper termination practices are followed to maintain signal integrity and support the rated data speeds and PoE capabilities.
