Description

StarTech M45PATCH100G 100ft Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

This 100-foot (30.5m) StarTech M45PATCH100G Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable solution for making Ethernet network connections. Built with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and terminated with RJ-45 connectors, it supports data transfer rates up to 1Gbps, and is backward compatible with 2.5/5Gbps NBASE-T speeds. The CMG rating indicates suitability for in-wall installations where fire safety is a concern. This cable is ideal for connecting network devices like IP cameras, switches, and NVRs in commercial or residential environments.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard networking equipment requiring an Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: StarTech network switches, IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua, network video recorders (NVRs), and desktop computers. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring broad interoperability.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F). The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces or around corners compared to solid core cables. The PVC jacket provides durability for general-purpose installations. For environments requiring higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider Cat6a or Cat7 cabling.
