Ethernet patch cable No name 8P8C (RJ45) 1:1, grey, 5 m

Straight-through Ethernet patch cable No name 8P8C (RJ45) 1:1, grey, 5 m is a flexible copper twisted-pair network cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. The cable features 8P8C (RJ45) connectors wired in a 1:1 pinout, providing a direct link between network devices over a 5‑metre length. It is intended for connecting computers, routers, switches and patch panels in home and small office local area networks where a reliable, short-range copper connection is required.

Advantages

The cable offers a simple, industry-standard straight-through wiring suitable for typical Ethernet setups. Its five-metre length balances reach and signal integrity for desktop and rack-mounted equipment. The flexible grey jacket facilitates routing in cable trays, under desks and behind network furniture while minimizing visible clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop computer or laptop to a router or switch
• Patching from a wall outlet to a network device
• Linking network switches to patch panels in small racks
• Temporary or permanent cabling in home and small office networks

Key specifications

• Connector type: 8P8C (RJ45) straight-through
• Wiring: 1:1 (pin-to-pin straight wiring)
• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable colour: grey
• Cable type: copper twisted-pair patch cable

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the device’s Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Use the 5 m length to route between nearby equipment—desk to wall socket, switch to patch panel or router to workstation. Avoid sharp bends and do not tightly kink the cable; maintain gentle curves to preserve pair geometry and signal performance. Disconnect by pressing the connector latch and pulling straight out to avoid damaging the plug or socket.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference. Use cable management clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors and to maintain tidy runs. Verify network settings and link lights on devices to confirm a successful connection.
