Description

StarTech M45PATCH1BL 1ft Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

This 1-foot StarTech M45PATCH1BL is a blue, stranded copper Cat5e patch cable designed for short-run network connections. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps and is ideal for connecting network devices in close proximity, such as patching equipment within a rack or connecting a device directly to a wall outlet. The cable is rated for 100 MHz performance, ensuring reliable Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T) operation. Its short length minimizes cable clutter and potential signal degradation over distance.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 Ethernet port, including switches, routers, computers, IP cameras, and network video recorders (NVRs). It adheres to the T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with standard network infrastructure. The cable supports 100W PoE, making it suitable for powering PoE-enabled devices like IP cameras or wireless access points when used with a compatible PoE switch or injector.

Installation Notes

The cable features stranded copper conductors, offering flexibility for installations in tight spaces. The PVC jacket is CMG rated for general-purpose in-wall use, providing a balance of flexibility and durability. Operating temperature range is -20 to 60 C.
