Patch cord ElectroBase K8456.10-Orange RJ45 CAT5E 10m Orange

The ElectroBase Patch Cord K8456.10-Orange is a 10‑metre CAT5E UTP network cable with RJ45 connectors designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. The cable supports standard Ethernet speeds for CAT5E and provides a flexible, insulated sheath in bright orange for easy identification in cabling runs. Manufactured for straightforward device-to-device linking, it is suitable for connecting routers, switches, computers, printers and other networked equipment requiring a stable copper-based connection.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cord delivers consistent signal quality over its 10 m length and uses unshielded twisted pair construction to minimise crosstalk in typical LAN setups. The RJ45 plugs are moulded for secure, low-profile connections and the orange outer jacket helps with quick visual tracing in patch panels and tangled cable environments. The cable balances flexibility for routing with sufficient durability for repeated plugging and movement.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and laptop docking stations to local networks
• Linking routers, switches and hubs in small office networks
• Patch panel to network equipment connections in wiring closets
• Home entertainment systems and smart TV Ethernet connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 10 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Conductor: copper conductors (solid/stranded as per cable construction)
• Outer jacket colour: orange
• Suitable for Ethernet speeds up to standard CAT5E limits (1000BASE-T typical)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on your router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure each connector clicks into place to form a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, kinks and placing the cable alongside sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For fixed installations, route the cable through cable management channels or tie-down points to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use the bright orange colour to label and separate this network run from others and to simplify troubleshooting. For permanent in-wall installations, confirm local building codes and consider using cables rated for in-wall use; for short-term or frequently changed setups, this patch cord is suitable for regular patch-panel and desktop connections.
