Network Cable Helos Patch-Kabel 363692 RJ-45 (M) to RJ-45 (M) Cat 6 1m Black

The Helos Patch-Kabel 363692 RJ-45 (M) to RJ-45 (M) Cat 6 1m in black is a Cat 6 network patch cable designed for short-range connections between network equipment. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a 1 metre length, this cable is suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and computers where a compact, reliable link is required. The cable construction meets Cat 6 performance expectations for home and small-office network setups and supports typical Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Advantages

This Cat 6 patch cable provides consistent signal transmission and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. The moulded RJ-45 connectors ensure a secure connection and strain relief at both ends to minimise wear from repeated plugging. The 1 m length reduces cable clutter in close-proximity installations and the black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance that integrates with most equipment racks and desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a router or switch over short distances
• Linking patch panels to network switches in small rack installations
• Temporary or permanent connections in home offices and small businesses
• Replacing damaged or worn Cat 5e cables where Cat 6 performance is desired

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6
• Connector type: RJ-45 (male) to RJ-45 (male)
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Black
• Suitable for: up to Gigabit Ethernet speeds in typical installations

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to secure the plug. Use the 1 m cable to link devices placed close to each other, for example from a switch to a desktop or from a router to a modem. Avoid excessive bending or tight loops near the connectors to preserve signal integrity. If routing through cable management trays or under desks, allow gentle curves and avoid sharp folds.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. Use Cat 6 cables for network segments where higher noise immunity and improved headroom over Cat 5e are beneficial. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the outer jacket or connector latch is compromised.
