Patch cable helos RJ-45 plug-to-plug 1 m, model 205220

Helos patch cable model 205220 is a 1 m RJ-45 male-to-male Ethernet cable designed for short connections between network devices. Its one-metre length is intended to reduce excess cabling in patch cabinets, wall outlets and desktop setups while providing a reliable physical link for structured cabling and local area network connections.

Advantages

The helos RJ-45 patch cable offers a compact solution for linking switches, routers, patch panels and computers with minimal cable slack and improved rack or desk tidiness. Its standard RJ-45 connectors provide broad compatibility with Ethernet-enabled equipment and simplify installation. The short length can help maintain signal integrity in densely cabled environments and reduces the need for additional cable management accessories.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet connections between switches, routers and patch panels
• Connecting desktop computers, VoIP phones and network printers
• Structured cabling runs where 1 m patch leads are required
• Patch cabinets and wall-mounted network outlets to minimise clutter

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m patch cable is not intended for long-distance runs or installation scenarios that require extra length to bridge physically separated equipment. For trunk cabling between rooms or for installations requiring flexible routing around obstacles, longer cables or structured cabling components are more appropriate. It is a passive copper Ethernet lead and not suitable where fiber optic connectivity or specialized shielding for high electromagnetic interference environments is mandatory.

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable use: Ethernet patch cable for network device interconnection
• Typical applications: LAN connections, patch panels, desktop and rack setups
• Construction: short patch lead designed for reduced cable slack and tidy installations

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the network ports of the devices you want to link until the connector latch clicks into place. Use the cable to connect ports on switches, routers, patch panels, computers or other Ethernet-enabled equipment. For tidy installations in racks or at workstations, route the cable along intended paths and secure it with Velcro straps or cable ties as needed. Verify link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm a successful physical connection and check network settings if no link is detected.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a 1 m lead is sufficient for your layout
• Compatibility with device ports that accept standard RJ-45 connectors
• Need for additional shielding or higher-category cable for higher bandwidth or EMI-prone environments
• Quantity required for patch panels or structured cabling layouts

Recommendations

Use this helos 1 m RJ-45 patch cable for short, direct Ethernet connections in cabinets, racks and desktop setups. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the connectors; route and secure the cable to prevent strain. For critical or long-distance links, choose an appropriately rated longer cable or alternative media.
