Patch cable helos 205223 RJ‑45 male to male 5 m

Helos 205223 is a 5 m RJ‑45 patch cable with RJ‑45 male connectors on both ends, designed to connect Ethernet devices over short to medium distances. The cable provides a flexible, pre‑terminated link for switches, routers, patch panels and computers in home, office and server environments. Its 5‑metre length balances reach and cable management, making it suitable for typical desk, rack and cabinet installations where a ready‑to‑use UTP/Ethernet connection is required.

Advantages

The cable is supplied with standard RJ‑45 male connectors on both ends for straightforward plug‑and‑play installation without tools. Its 5 m length reduces the need for extensions while allowing tidy routing inside racks and under desks. The construction offers flexibility for repeated bending and repositioning during setup changes. Designed for general Ethernet use, the cable supports typical network speeds and is compatible with common network hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches and routers in office or home networks
• Patch panel to switch links in rack installations
• PC or workstation network connections
• Temporary or permanent cabling in server rooms and network closets

Key specifications

• Cable type: RJ‑45 patch cable with male connectors on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Intended use: Ethernet networking (horizontal and patch cabling)
• Connector type: 8‑position RJ‑45, 8P8C
• Construction: flexible stranded conductors for patching applications
• Typical applications: data transfer between network devices at short to medium distances

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of the source device and the other connector into the destination device until the latch clicks. Ensure devices are powered and configured for the appropriate network settings. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinching; use cable ties or management channels to secure excess length. If connecting within racks, allow for slack to prevent strain on connectors and to accommodate future reconfiguration.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid running the cable near high‑voltage power lines or sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the 5 m length for direct device connections or short patch runs; for longer permanent runs consider structured cabling rated for in‑wall or plenum installation. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if either connector shows visible wear or if link stability issues occur.
