Patch cord ElectroBase K8456.2 RJ45 CAT5E 2m Black

The ElectroBase K8456.2 RJ45 CAT5E 2m patch cord is a UTP network cable engineered for standard Ethernet connections in home and office environments. With a 2-metre length and RJ45 connectors on both ends, this black cable provides a straightforward plug-and-play solution for connecting computers, switches, routers and other network devices. The CAT5E specification supports typical Fast Ethernet and Gigabit-capable local area networks where installation distances are short and cable flexibility is needed.

Advantages

This patch cord combines a compact 2 m length with a CAT5E UTP design to balance flexibility and signal integrity. RJ45 molded connectors offer easy insertion and secure contact with standard network ports. The outer jacket in black resists everyday wear and keeps the cable discreet in mixed equipment environments. Its construction is suitable for frequent re-routing and repositioning without compromising connectivity.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers to wall sockets or switches
• Linking routers and access points in small office setups
• Patch panels and rack-mounted switches in compact network cabinets
• Temporary network setups for events, testing or troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E (Unshielded Twisted Pair)
• Length: 2 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Colour: Black
• Suitable network speeds: Up to 1 Gbps in typical short-run installations (dependent on environment and equipment)
• Jacket type: flexible PVC for standard indoor use

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device and the other connector into the target device or network outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best results, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; route the cable along cable trays or behind equipment where possible. Test the link status on connected devices to verify network negotiation and data transfer rates.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT5E patch cord for short-range connections within rooms, cabinets or racks. Avoid outdoor exposure, prolonged UV light, or routing near high-voltage power lines to reduce interference and prolong service life. Replace the cable if the jacket is visibly damaged or if connection stability degrades.
