Shielded Cat5e Patch Cable Adapter 2× Cat5e, 0.19 m, Grey/Silver - DIGITUS

DIGITUS shielded Cat5e patch cable adapter set includes two Cat5e RJ45 sockets connected by a 0.19 m shielded patch cord with a single RJ45 plug. The compact grey/silver adapters follow the Cat5e wiring standard and provide shielded connections suitable for short interconnects in office environments, server racks, or equipment linking. Supplied as a pack of two, each adapter implements the specified pin assignment for direct PC-to-PC or device-to-device linking where a short, protected jumper is required.

Advantages

The shielded construction reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby metal equipment or cabling bundles. The short 0.19 m length minimizes cable clutter and latency for close-proximity connections while the molded kink protection boot with latch protection on the plug improves mechanical reliability. The adapters provide a straightforward way to extend, re-route, or adapt existing Cat5e cabling without introducing unshielded segments.

Suitable for

• Short LAN patching between nearby network devices
• Connecting laptops or PCs directly for file transfer or testing
• Equipment linking inside server racks, cabinets, or patch panels
• Temporary or permanent short internal cabling in office workstations

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the RJ45 socket of the target device and connect the two RJ45 sockets to the corresponding ports of the devices to be linked. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch engages. Verify that both devices are powered and configured for direct or switched connection as required. When installing inside racks or enclosures, route the short patch cord to avoid sharp bends and keep the shield continuity intact by using shielded ports on both ends.

Recommendations

Use these shielded Cat5e adapters where a short, protected jumper is needed and both connected ports support shielded RJ45 connections. Avoid overstretching the 0.19 m patch cord; for longer distances select a purpose-made patch cable of appropriate length and category. Regularly inspect the molded boot and latch for wear to ensure reliable mechanical contact.
