Description

StarTech RJ45PATCH5 5ft Cat5e Patch Cable

Overview

The StarTech RJ45PATCH5 is a 5-foot Cat5e Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable data transmission and robust Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivery. This cable is essential for connecting network devices such as IP cameras, access control panels, or network switches in environments where high-speed data and sufficient power are critical. Its CM-rated PVC jacket ensures durability for in-wall or plenum space installations, making the RJ45PATCH5 suitable for structured cabling deployments.

Compatibility

This Cat5e cable is compatible with all standard RJ-45 network interfaces, supporting 1Gbps data transfer rates. It is specifically engineered to handle IEEE 802.3bt (Type 3) PoE, delivering up to 100W of power. This makes it ideal for powering high-demand devices like PTZ cameras, high-density wireless access points, or other PoE-powered equipment that requires more than standard PoE or PoE+ can supply. It functions seamlessly with any network switch or device supporting these standards.

Installation Notes

Featuring 24 AWG copper conductors, this cable ensures efficient power delivery and signal integrity. The 50-micron gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, critical for maintaining stable connections over time. The CM (Communications Multipurpose) fire rating indicates it meets safety standards for use in communications circuits within walls and spaces between floors, but always consult local building codes for specific installation requirements.
