Description

StarTech M45PATCH10BK Cat5e Network Patch Cable

Overview

This 10-foot StarTech M45PATCH10BK is a Cat5e network patch cable designed to provide reliable, high-performance Ethernet connections for surveillance systems, network-attached storage, and other IP-based devices. Its stranded copper conductors and T568B wiring ensure compatibility with standard networking equipment, while the CMG-rated PVC jacket offers general-purpose fire safety for in-wall or exposed runs. The 1Gbps data rate and 100W PoE support make it suitable for powering and connecting IP cameras, access control panels, or VoIP phones.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device requiring an RJ-45 Ethernet connection, including but not limited to: IP cameras, NVRs, switches, routers, VoIP phones, and computers. It supports standard 10/100/1000 Mbps Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet networks.

Installation Notes

The operating temperature range for this cable is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F). The CMG rating indicates suitability for general-purpose use in building environments. Ensure proper cable management to avoid kinks or damage to the 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, which could degrade performance or PoE delivery.
