Ethernet patch cord BLOW 2717# RJ45–RJ45 5 m gray

BLOW 2717# RJ45–RJ45 5 m gray is a 5-metre Ethernet patch cord with RJ45 connectors on both ends designed for short-range copper network connections. The cable provides a straightforward physical link for standard Ethernet signal transmission between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and desktop computers. Its neutral gray jacket fits typical office and home installations and supports typical LAN wiring topologies where a fixed-length patch cord is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a ready-made, fixed-length solution that reduces installation time compared with custom-cut wiring. Standard RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common Ethernet ports and network hardware. The cable jacket and connector strain relief are designed for repeated insertions and removals in patch panels and wall outlets, and the 5 m length is suitable for linking equipment in racks, under desks or across rooms where a short, managed run is needed.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in small office racks
• Linking routers or modems to desktop computers
• Short horizontal runs between wall outlets and networked devices
• Temporary cabling for testing or configuration tasks

Key specifications

• Cable type: copper Ethernet patch cord with RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Color: gray
• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) modular plugs
• Intended use: short-range LAN and office/home networking

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port on the devices to be connected until an audible click confirms a secure fit. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points, and use cable management such as ties or channels to keep the run neat and reduce strain on the connectors. For installations in racks or patch panels, leave enough slack for maintenance and avoid excessive tension on the plug housing.

Usage recommendations

Use this 5 m patch cord for short fixed runs where standardized RJ45 connections are required. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables to reduce potential electromagnetic interference, and replace the cord if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
