Patch cable helos 205581 RJ-45 male to male, 5 m, unshielded

helos 205581 is a 5 m RJ-45 male-to-male patch cable designed for Ethernet and network connections. The unshielded twisted pair construction supports standard copper Ethernet links between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and network ports on computers. With its 5-m length, the cable is suitable for linking equipment in small office, home office and server rack environments where moderate reach and simple cable routing are required.

Advantages

The cable uses reliable RJ-45 connectors at both ends for a direct, plug-and-play connection without special adapters. Unshielded design keeps the cable flexible and easy to route in confined spaces while providing the electrical characteristics required for typical Ethernet speeds. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability, reducing the need for excess coiling or intermediate patch points.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in small office and home setups
• Linking desktop computers or network devices to wall ports
• Short runs in server cabinets and network closets
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where shielded cable is not required

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Length: 5 m
• Cable type: unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
• Intended use: Ethernet/network patching
• Typical environments: home office, small office, server closet

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable to connect two networked devices directly or to patch a device to a network panel or switch. Avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain gentle radius at bends to preserve signal integrity. For neat installation, route the cable along cable channels or use simple cable ties to prevent tension on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this unshielded patch cable for standard Ethernet runs where electromagnetic interference is minimal. For installations near heavy electrical equipment or in environments with strong radio-frequency interference, consider a shielded cable. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs show visible damage.
