Patch cord NORDMARK K8456F.2 RJ45 CAT5E 2m grey

The NORDMARK K8456F.2 RJ45 CAT5E patch cord is a 2 m S/FTP network cable designed for reliable data transmission in structured cabling systems. Compliant with CAT5E performance parameters, this grey patch cord connects devices using standard RJ45 ports and is engineered to reduce electromagnetic interference thanks to its screened pair construction. It is suitable for linking switches, patch panels, routers and network interfaces in both small office and home network environments.

Advantages

This patch cord combines CAT5E-rated performance with an S/FTP design to provide consistent signal integrity and lower crosstalk across Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbps. The molded RJ45 connectors ensure a secure plug fit and reliable contact, while the flexible sheath allows easy cable routing in racks and behind furniture. Durable construction improves long-term use and maintains connection quality over repeated plugging cycles.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and VoIP phones to switches or wall outlets
• Patching between network switches and patch panels in server rooms or racks
• Home networking setups including routers, media players and smart devices
• Temporary or permanent office workstation cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E
• Length: 2 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair)
• Color: Grey
• Data rate support: up to 1 Gbps over appropriate network hardware
• Suitable frequency range: up to 100 MHz (CAT5E specification)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding switch, patch panel or wall socket until the connector clicks into place. Route the 2 m cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges that can damage the sheath or internal pairs. For best performance, keep the patch cord away from high-voltage power cables and heavy sources of electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable network performance, use this CAT5E S/FTP patch cord for connections within the same room or rack where a 2 m length is suitable. Verify connector seating if intermittent connectivity occurs and replace the cable if the sheath or connectors show physical damage. For installations requiring higher bandwidth or longer runs, consider selecting a higher category cable or longer length appropriate to the environment.
