Networking cable Rittal DK 7030.094 RJ-45 to RJ-45, 5 m, Black

Rittal DK 7030.094 is a 5 m networking patch cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends in black. Designed for Ethernet and network connections, it offers a straightforward plug-and-play interface for linking devices with RJ-45 ports. The cable is suitable for use with monitoring systems and can connect CMC III CAN-Bus units to information and power distribution systems where a 5 m patch cable is required.

Advantages

This 5 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 cable provides a reliable physical connection for standard Ethernet signals and CAN-Bus interfacing in monitoring setups. Its fixed length and molded connectors simplify installation and reduce strain at connection points. The black jacket offers a neutral visual appearance suitable for cabinet and rack environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches to devices within a 5 m distance
• Linking monitoring system components such as CMC III CAN-Bus units to information and power distribution systems
• Patch connections in server cabinets, control panels, and network racks

When it may not be suitable

This cable is intended as a standard patch lead and may not be suitable where shielded cables, specific twisted-pair categories (e.g., Cat6a or higher) or very low-latency, high-bandwidth specifications are required. It may also be unsuitable for installations that demand specialized ruggedized or outdoor-rated cabling.

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Color: Black
• Primary use: Ethernet/network patching and monitoring system connections

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding RJ-45 port on the devices to be connected until the retaining clip clicks into place. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain, and secure it with cable ties or routing guides as needed. For monitoring setups, verify correct port assignment and communication settings on the connected devices after making the physical connection.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and routing constraints in your installation
• Whether a shielded cable or a specific cable category is needed for your network performance or EMI environment
• Compatibility with the devices and ports you plan to connect (RJ-45 ports and supported signal types)

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid tight bends and excessive tension on the cable, keep connections dry and free of dust, and confirm network settings after installation. Use proper cable management in racks and cabinets to maintain accessibility and reduce risk of accidental disconnection.
