Patch cord ElectroBase K8100GR.2.5 RJ45 CAT6 2.5m Green

The ElectroBase K8100GR.2.5 RJ45 CAT6 patch cord is a 2.5 metre unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections. Built to CAT6 specifications, the cable supports high-speed data transmission with reduced crosstalk and interference compared with lower-category cables. The green jacket and robust connector moulding make it suitable for visible cable runs and environments where colour-coding helps with cable management.

Advantages

The CAT6 construction offers improved bandwidth and signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet and many modern networking applications. The 2.5 m length provides flexibility for desktop, rack-to-desk, and short inter-equipment runs while avoiding excess cable slack. The RJ45 connectors are factory-terminated for consistent contact and low insertion loss, and the UTP design ensures compatibility with standard CAT6 ports without requiring shielded infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops or network printers to wall ports or switches
• Short patching between network equipment in office racks or patch panels
• Home networking where colour-coded cables simplify organisation
• Temporary network setups for events, workshops or maintenance tasks

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6 (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2.5 metres
• Connector: RJ45, 8P8C
• Conductor type: stranded or solid conductor (suitable for patching)
• Impedance: 100 ohm nominal
• Jacket colour: green
• Typical supported speeds: up to Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T); performance depends on connected equipment and network design

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks into place. Use the 2.5 m length to connect endpoints such as PCs, switches or patch panels with minimal bending radius to avoid strain on the conductors. For tidy installations, route the cable along cable management trays or use cable ties, avoiding sharp bends and close proximity to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. To disconnect, press the connector latch and pull straight out to avoid damaging the plug.

Usage recommendations

The patch cord is intended for indoor use in standard network environments. Verify that network hardware supports CAT6 cabling for optimal performance and avoid running the cable alongside mains power or sources of electromagnetic interference. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage to maintain reliable connections.
