StarTech M45PATCH3BL 3ft Blue Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
This 3-foot StarTech M45PATCH3BL is a blue Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable, high-speed network connections. It's ideal for connecting network devices like IP cameras, NVRs, or switches in server racks, network closets, or workstation setups where a short, dependable link is required. The stranded copper conductors ensure flexibility and ease of routing in tight spaces, while the CMG rating supports general-purpose in-wall installations.
Compatibility
The M45PATCH3BL is compatible with any network device utilizing an RJ-45 connector and requiring Cat5e performance. This includes, but is not limited to, most IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed and unmanaged network switches, routers, and desktop computers operating at speeds up to 1Gbps. It supports the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring broad interoperability.
Installation Notes
Operating temperature range is -20°C to 60°C (-4°F to 140°F), with storage temperatures between 0°C and 30°C (32°F to 86°F). The cable is rated for 60% RH (non-condensing). It supports up to 100W PoE, making it suitable for powering compatible network devices directly over the Ethernet cable.
