Patch cord ElectroBase K8456.05 RJ45 CAT5E 0.50m

The ElectroBase K8456.05 RJ45 CAT5E 0.50m patch cord is a short, unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) Ethernet cable engineered for straightforward network connections. With standard RJ45 plugs and CAT5E performance, this 0.50 m cable supports typical home and office data networking tasks where a compact, reliable link is required. The cable provides a simple point-to-point connection between devices such as routers, switches and computers, enabling stable data transmission at category-rated speeds.

Advantages

This patch cord combines a compact 0.50 m length with CAT5E specification to minimize cable clutter while maintaining signal integrity for short runs. The RJ45 connectors allow tool-free, plug-and-play installation and compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. As an unshielded twisted-pair design, the cable is flexible and easy to route in racks, desktops or behind equipment where shielded cable is unnecessary.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or laptop to a router or network switch over a short distance
• Patch connections in small office or home network setups
• Linking network devices in dense rack or cabinet environments where short cables reduce clutter
• Temporary or permanent direct device-to-device connections that require stable CAT5E performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connector type: RJ45 plug on both ends
• Length: 0.50 m
• Conductor: multi-stranded copper for flexibility
• Typical applications: Ethernet networks up to CAT5E performance

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until the connector latch clicks into place. Ensure the cable is not kinked and avoid tight bends that could stress the conductors. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference. To remove the cable, depress the latch and pull the connector straight out of the port.

Usage recommendations

For best results in small or densely cabled environments, use this 0.50 m CAT5E patch cord for short point-to-point links where a compact, flexible connection is needed. If longer runs or higher bandwidth (Gigabit and above in noisy environments) are required, consider selecting higher-category or shielded cables appropriate for the installation conditions.
