Overview

This 6-foot StarTech M45PATCH6BL Cat5e patch cable provides a reliable connection for your network devices. It's constructed with 24 AWG stranded copper conductors, ensuring consistent data transmission for Ethernet networks up to 100 MHz. The CMG rating signifies its suitability for use in building environments where fire safety is a concern. This cable is ideal for connecting network switches, routers, computers, and surveillance equipment in environments where a short, dependable link is required.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ45 network interfaces, including those found on most IP cameras, network video recorders (NVRs), managed switches, and workstations. It supports standard TIA/EIA-568-B.1-2001 T568B wiring, ensuring broad interoperability with existing network infrastructure.

Installation Notes

The cable operates within a temperature range of -20 to 60°C ( -4 to 140°F) and can be stored between 0 and 30°C (32 to 86°F). It is designed for environments with up to 60% relative humidity. The stranded copper conductors offer flexibility, making it easier to route in tight spaces without compromising signal integrity. It supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 100W, making it suitable for powering PoE-enabled devices.
