helos 205250 network patch cable RJ-45, 5 m, plug-to-plug Ethernet cable

helos 205250 is a 5 m RJ-45 network patch cable for Ethernet connections. Designed as a male-to-male lead with standard 8P8C connectors, this fixed-length cable provides a direct wired link between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. The cable's 5 metre length balances reach and tidy installation for typical home and small office LAN setups, supporting straightforward connection and stable data transmission over copper Ethernet lines.

Advantages

This male-to-male Ethernet cable offers a simple, reliable physical connection with standard RJ-45 plugs at both ends. The 5 m length reduces the need for intermediate couplers while providing sufficient distance for most desktop and rack arrangements. As a fixed-length patch lead, it is easy to install, requires no configuration and ensures consistent electrical performance for network troubleshooting, temporary setups, or permanent desk-to-switch wiring.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers or laptops to switches and routers
• Patch panels and rack-mounted network equipment in small offices
• Home network connections between gateways, media players and smart TVs
• Temporary network setups during maintenance or equipment replacement

Key specifications

• Cable type: Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 (8P8C) connectors
• Configuration: male-to-male, fixed length
• Length: 5 metres
• Typical application: copper LAN data transmission (Ethernet)
• Colour and jacket material: standard insulated network cable jacket (manufacturer standard)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices until the connector latches. Use the 5 m helos patch cable to link a computer, switch, router or other compatible network device. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that ports on devices indicate a link or activity light where available. For best results, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks near the connectors and route the cable to prevent physical strain on the plugs.

Recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power cables and large electrical equipment. Use the 5 m length for tidy routing across desks or between short rack rows; if longer runs are needed, choose an appropriately longer patch cable to avoid using additional couplers.
