UTP Cat5e Patchcord MACLEAN MCTV-651, RJ45 plug–plug, 2 m

UTP Cat5e Patchcord MACLEAN MCTV-651, RJ45 plug–plug, 2 m is a flexible Ethernet patch cable designed to meet Cat5e performance for typical LAN connections. The cable features RJ45 plug-to-plug terminations and a PVC outer jacket that provides mechanical protection and flexibility. It is intended for short-range connections between network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and desktop equipment in office or home network environments.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat5e-class data transmission supporting standard Ethernet speeds commonly used in local area networks. Molded RJ45 connectors ensure consistent contact and strain relief to reduce connector damage during installation and handling. The flexible PVC jacket simplifies routing through cable trays, conduits or desk spaces and helps maintain reliable electrical performance over a 2 m length. The plug-to-plug design enables straightforward, tool-free connections between Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or wall outlets
• Linking routers, modems and desktop computers
• Short patch runs in office and home network setups
• Temporary network setups and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable type: UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Category: Cat5e performance
• Connector types: RJ45 plug — RJ45 plug
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket material: PVC
• Color: typically available in standard single color (check product listing)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain bend radius consistent with cable construction to preserve signal integrity. For rack- or patch-panel installations, use cable management accessories to secure the patchcord and avoid excess tension on connectors. For troubleshooting, replace or swap the patchcord with a known-good cable to isolate connection issues.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the UTP cable parallel to power lines and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use the patchcord within its specified length for Cat5e-rated performance and inspect connectors for debris or damage before installation.
