Description

StarTech M45PATCH50BL 50ft Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

This 50-foot blue Cat5e patch cable, model M45PATCH50BL, is engineered for dependable network connectivity in surveillance and IT environments. It supports data rates up to 1 Gbps, making it suitable for connecting IP cameras, network switches, and other Ethernet devices where consistent performance is critical. The stranded copper conductors provide flexibility, while the CMG fire rating ensures compliance for in-wall installations. This cable is designed to terminate with standard RJ-45 connectors, ensuring broad compatibility with networking equipment.

Compatibility

The StarTech M45PATCH50BL is compatible with any network device utilizing standard RJ-45 Ethernet ports. This includes, but is not limited to, IP cameras from brands like Axis, Hanwha, Hikvision, and Dahua; network switches from Cisco, Ubiquiti, and Netgear; and NVRs or DVRs requiring Ethernet connectivity. It adheres to the TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring standard, ensuring interoperability with most commercial and industrial networking infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Operating temperature range is -20 to 60 C (-4 to 140 F), suitable for many indoor and climate-controlled environments. Storage temperature should be kept between 0 to 30 C (32 to 86 F). The cable is rated for 60% RH (non-condensing) humidity. The 24 AWG stranded copper construction offers flexibility for routing in conduits or cable trays, but avoid sharp bends that exceed the minimum bend radius to maintain signal integrity. The cable supports up to 100W of PoE power, making it suitable for powering PoE-enabled devices directly through the network cable.
