Patch cable helos RJ-45 to RJ-45, 40 m length, model 205588

Patch cable helos RJ-45 to RJ-45, 40 m length, model 205588 is a fixed-length Ethernet cable intended for wired LAN connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is designed for linking network devices such as switches, routers, servers and workstations within a 40 metre run. The cable is suitable for structured cabling installations and provides a straightforward solution for reliable data transmission and consistent network performance over the specified distance.

Advantages

The helos patch cable offers a ready-to-install, pre-terminated connection that reduces installation time compared with on-site termination. Its 40 m length eliminates the need for multiple shorter cables or mid-run joins. With standardized RJ-45 terminations, the cable supports common Ethernet equipment and simplifies cable management in racks and wall outlets. The fixed length and single-piece construction reduce points of failure and help maintain consistent electrical characteristics along the run.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to switches or routers within the same room or rack
• Linking servers or NAS devices to network switches
• Wiring workstations and desktop computers in office LANs
• Structured cabling runs where a 40 m fixed-length link is required

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 40 metres
• Cabling category: compatible with standard Ethernet interfaces (see device requirements)
• Conductor: multi-core twisted pair (industry standard construction)
• Use environment: indoor structured cabling and equipment rooms

How to use

Verify that both network devices have standard RJ-45 ports and are powered off or in a safe state for connection. Route the 40 m cable along the planned path, avoiding sharp bends and sources of electrical interference. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the device ports until the connector latch engages. After physical connection, power on or enable the devices and check link/activity LEDs or software diagnostics to confirm the network link is active and operating at the expected speed.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bundling with power cables, maintain bend radii greater than the connector width, and use appropriate cable management such as trays, clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors. If running the cable through ceiling voids or patch panels, ensure connectors are accessible and ports are labelled for future maintenance.
