Description

StarTech RJ45PATCH2 2ft Cat5e Network Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech RJ45PATCH2 is a 2-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable network connections in environments requiring short, clean cable runs. Its CM-rated jacket ensures safety for in-wall installations, making it suitable for connecting network devices like IP cameras, access points, or workstations to network switches in structured cabling systems. The RJ45PATCH2 model supports speeds up to 5Gbps and 100W Power over Ethernet (PoE), ensuring compatibility with high-demand network infrastructure.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network devices, including but not limited to: StarTech IP cameras, network switches, routers, servers, and workstations. It supports Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps), 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, and 5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds, making it suitable for modern network infrastructure upgrades.

Installation Notes

The cable features 24 AWG wire gauge, providing a balance between flexibility and conductivity. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) fire rating indicates it meets standards for use in wall or ceiling spaces within commercial buildings. The 2-foot length minimizes cable clutter and signal degradation over short distances.
