Network cable CradlePoint 170663-000 RJ-45 to RJ-45 Grey 2.13 m

CradlePoint 170663-000 is a 2.13 m grey network cable with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, designed to create reliable Ethernet connections between routers, switches and other networking equipment. Its fixed length and standard connectors make it suitable for structured cabling in office racks, home networks and telecommunications installations where a stable wired link is preferred for data transfer, device management or console access.

Advantages

This cable uses standard RJ-45 terminations to ensure compatibility with a wide range of network devices while its 2.13 m length reduces excess slack and clutter in patch panels or equipment racks. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance for professional environments and the solid construction supports consistent signal transmission for typical Ethernet applications. Designed to work with CradlePoint hardware that accepts RJ-45 connections, it is suitable for both network traffic and out-of-band management scenarios when used with supported console ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers and switches in office or home networks
• Patch connections in server rooms and telecom cabinets
• Providing wired links for device management and console access
• Temporary or permanent network setups where a 2.13 m fixed cable is required

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2.13 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (8P8C)
• Jacket colour: Grey
• Intended use: Ethernet networking and console connections
• Form factor: Fixed-length patch cable suitable for indoor use

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 plug into the Ethernet or console port of the first device and the other plug into the corresponding port of the second device until the connector latches. For equipment mounted in racks or cabinets, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. When used for console or out-of-band management, confirm the target device supports RJ-45 console access and use the appropriate terminal settings on the connected management system.

Recommendations

Use the cable indoors and avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight, moisture, or temperatures outside the equipment’s recommended range. For reliable connections, inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if shielding or terminations appear compromised. Keep the cable neatly routed in patch panels or cable management trays to reduce strain on connectors and maintain consistent network performance.
