Description

StarTech M45PATCH25BK Cat5e 25ft Patch Cable

Overview

This 25-foot StarTech M45PATCH25BK is a Cat5e patch cable designed for high-quality, reliable Ethernet connections. It's constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors and features 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, ensuring consistent data transfer up to 1 Gbps. The CMG-rated PVC jacket provides a fire rating suitable for in-wall installations, making it a solid choice for extending network reach in commercial or residential environments, especially where Power over Ethernet (PoE) is utilized.

Compatibility

This cable is compatible with any standard RJ-45 network port and supports all network devices requiring Cat5e performance, including 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections. It is specifically rated to handle up to 100W of power delivery via IEEE 802.3bt PoE++, making it suitable for powering high-demand devices like advanced Wi-Fi access points, PTZ cameras, or other PoE++ enabled equipment without requiring a separate power supply for the device itself.

Installation Notes

The cable's CMG rating indicates it meets standards for use in building riser pathways. Operating temperature range is -20 to 60°C (-4 to 140°F). The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility for routing in tight spaces, but care should be taken to avoid sharp bends that could compromise performance or damage the conductors.
