User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum data speed supported by this Cat5e cable?
This Category 5e UTP patch cable supports Fast Ethernet (100 Mbps) and Gigabit Ethernet (1000 Mbps) standards. It is designed with minimized Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT) to maintain signal integrity over its full 100-foot length, ensuring reliable performance for typical office and data center networking needs.
Can this cable be used for Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices?
Yes, this cable is Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable. The 24 AWG copper conductors and robust construction support both data and power transmission, making it suitable for connecting PoE devices like IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras without requiring separate power cables.
What does the CM jacket rating mean?
The CM (Communications Multipurpose) jacket rating indicates that the cable's PVC jacket is suitable for use in plenum spaces and general-purpose installations. This rating ensures the jacket material meets specific fire resistance and smoke emission standards, making it appropriate for most indoor networking environments, including offices and data centers.
How does the snagless boot design benefit installation?
The snagless boot design features protective hoods that prevent the RJ45 connector clips from catching on other cables or rack components during installation and removal. This reduces the risk of clip damage, extends connector lifespan, and makes cable management easier in dense networking setups.
Is this cable shielded or unshielded?
This is an Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cable, meaning it does not have additional foil or braid shielding around the conductors. UTP cables like this Cat5e patch cable are commonly used for standard Ethernet networking where electromagnetic interference is minimal, offering a cost-effective and flexible solution for most environments.
What warranty comes with this patch cable?
StarTech.com provides a lifetime warranty for this patch cable, covering defects in materials and workmanship for the product's usable life. This warranty reflects the cable's durable construction with features like gold-plated connectors, strain relief, and high-quality copper conductors, ensuring long-term reliability for professional networking applications.
