StarTech M45PATCH50BK 50ft Cat5e Patch Cable
Overview
This 50-foot StarTech M45PATCH50BK Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable solution for establishing Fast Ethernet network connections. It is designed to meet the demands of network infrastructure deployments where consistent data transfer is critical. The cable's length offers flexibility in positioning network devices without sacrificing performance, making it suitable for connecting workstations, switches, routers, and other network hardware in commercial or enterprise environments.
Compatibility
The M45PATCH50BK is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ45 connectors and requiring Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) or Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) speeds. This includes, but is not limited to, network switches, routers, IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), and desktop computers. It adheres to the Cat5e standard, ensuring interoperability with existing network infrastructure.
Installation Notes
Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends or excessive tension, which can degrade performance. The RJ45 connectors are designed for standard network port insertion; avoid forcing them. For optimal performance, use within its specified temperature range and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme environmental conditions not suitable for standard indoor networking cables.
