LAN patchcord Extralink Cat.5e UTP 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, grey

Extralink LAN patchcord Cat.5e UTP, 2 m, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends in grey is a flexible unshielded Ethernet cable designed for standard Cat.5e data links. Constructed from four twisted-pair pure copper conductors and fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs, the cable delivers reliable connectivity for structured cabling, patch panels, switches, routers and end devices. The 2 m length suits short runs inside racks, between wall sockets and desktop devices or for home and office network patching.

Advantages

The Extralink Cat.5e UTP patchcord provides stable signal transmission for Ethernet networks up to Cat.5e performance while remaining flexible for easy routing and installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The pure copper twisted pairs support standard network power delivery (PoE) according to device specifications and ensure consistent electrical characteristics across the cable length. The grey jacket offers neutral appearance suitable for mixed cabling environments.
