Patch cord ElectroBase K8456.2-Red RJ45 CAT5E 200cm Red

The ElectroBase K8456.2-Red RJ45 CAT5E 200cm patch cord is a 2-meter unshielded twisted pair (UTP) network cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. It features RJ45 connectors on both ends and is rated for CAT5E performance, supporting common local area network speeds and reliable signal transfer. The red jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels, cable management trays, and desktop setups.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cord offers a balance of flexibility and durability suitable for regular installation and reconfiguration. The RJ45 connectors maintain secure contact for stable data transmission, while the UTP construction reduces crosstalk in typical office and home environments. The 200 cm length provides reach between typical points in a room without excess slack, and the colored jacket aids organization and quick identification among multiple cables.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, laptops, and switches within home or office networks
• Linking patch panels to network switches in small server racks
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where 2 m length is appropriate
• Cable identification and structured cabling where color coding is used

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 200 cm
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Number of pairs: 4 twisted pairs
• Jacket color: Red
• Typical use: Ethernet LAN connections up to CAT5E performance

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port of your device and network equipment until the latch clicks into place. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, and sources of electromagnetic interference. For patch panels or switch ports, insert the connector fully and verify the network link indicator on connected devices. If using multiple cables, employ the red color to mark a specific function or connection path.

Usage recommendations

Use the patch cord for Ethernet connections within the rated CAT5E performance; avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power lines to reduce interference. Replace the cable if the RJ45 connector or jacket shows visible damage. For higher network speeds or longer runs, consider cables with a higher category rating.
