Patch cable ElectroBase K8456F.5 RJ45 CAT5E 5m

The ElectroBase K8456F.5 RJ45 CAT5E 5m patch cable by NORDMARK is a 5-metre network cable designed for stable wired connections in home and office environments. Built to CAT5E standards with RJ45 terminations, the cable supports common Ethernet speeds and is suitable for installations that require screened protection against electromagnetic interference. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity, making it practical for connecting computers, routers, switches and other networked devices.

Advantages

This CAT5E patch cable provides reliable data transmission over copper pairs with RJ45 connectors that ensure secure plug-in connections. The screened construction reduces susceptibility to external interference, improving link stability in environments with nearby electrical equipment. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-wall or rack-to-equipment connections while maintaining the electrical characteristics required for typical Ethernet networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops or workstations to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or switch-to-switch connections within a rack
• Home network setups requiring wired Internet access for streaming or gaming
• Small office networks needing reliable shielded cabling to reduce crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5E
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Length: 5 metres
• Shielding: suitable for screened (FTP/STP) applications
• Conductor: twisted copper pairs
• Typical applications: Ethernet, 10/100/1000BASE-T (dependent on network hardware)

How to use

Insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until you hear or feel the locking tab engage. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain a bend radius larger than the cable diameter and keep the cable run away from high-voltage power lines or heavy machinery where possible. When routing through racks or conduits, secure the cable with cable ties or clips without compressing the jacket to preserve shielding and pair geometry.

Usage recommendations

Use this ElectroBase CAT5E patch cable for short- to medium-length horizontal runs and patching tasks where screened cabling helps reduce interference. Verify that connected devices and infrastructure support the intended Ethernet speed and shielded connections; if longer runs or higher bandwidth (10 Gbps) are required, consider higher-category cabling accordingly.
