Netwerkkabel Helos Patchkabel - RJ-45 (M) naar RJ-45 (M) Cat.6 20m grijs

The Helos Patch-Kabel is a Cat.6 network cable with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends, designed for reliable wired data transmission in home and office networks. At 1 meter length and finished in black, the cable is suitable for short connections between switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices, offering the electrical and shielding characteristics of Category 6 cabling for stable Gigabit performance where proper termination and network hardware are used.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat.6 performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet applications and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables. Robust RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and simple plug-and-play use. The 1 m length minimises excess cable clutter in tight setups while the durable outer jacket offers protection against daily wear and flexing. The black colour integrates unobtrusively into most installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC or laptop to a router or switch over short distances
• Patch cable use in wall-mounted or rack environments between ports
• Linking networked devices such as printers, NAS units and media players
• Temporary or permanent connections at desks, conference tables and workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Black
• Conductor type: stranded or solid copper (as used in typical patch cable construction)
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet-based networks

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on your router, switch or patch panel until the connector latches. Ensure both ends are fully seated and that network interfaces on connected devices are configured or set to auto-negotiate for Ethernet speeds. For rack or patch panel installations, route the cable to avoid tight bends and secure it with cable management to reduce strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius gentle; maintain proper cable management to prevent connector strain. Use this Cat.6 patch cable for short link runs; for longer permanent installations consider in-wall rated or higher-category cabling as appropriate.
