Cabo de extensão Ethernet RJ45 Renkforce CAT5e 0,50 m preto com mecanismo de bloqueio

The Renkforce Ethernet RJ45 Extension Cable CAT5e 0.50 m in black with a locking mechanism is a short, flexible adapter designed to extend Ethernet connections between devices that use standard RJ45 connectors. At half a metre length and CAT5e specification, it supports Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit configurations when used within an appropriate cabling environment. The cable provides a compact solution for reaching nearby ports, reducing strain on device ports, and simplifying cable routing in tight spaces.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT5e performance with a compact 0.50 m length to offer minimal signal path extension and easy cable management. Its locking mechanism secures the RJ45 connection and helps prevent accidental disconnection, which is useful for installations where plugs may be subject to movement or tension. The flexible jacket and standard RJ45 terminations make it compatible with a wide range of network devices and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet connections between nearby devices such as routers, switches, and networked peripherals
• Protecting device ports by adding a short replaceable extension
• Routing cabling in cramped or confined spaces where a long fixed cable is impractical
• Temporary network setups, testing, or lab environments requiring short interconnects

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT5e
• Length: 0.50 m
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 female extension style (standard 8P8C compatibility)
• Color: Black
• Locking mechanism: integrated latch lock to secure connection
• Jacket: flexible PVC (standard insulation for patch cables)
• Suitable frequency range: up to CAT5e specification for typical Ethernet speeds

How to use

Insert the male RJ45 plug of the extension cable into the device or patch panel port, then connect the existing Ethernet cable to the female end. Ensure the locking mechanism engages to secure both ends and avoid accidental unplugging. The short length keeps patching tidy and reduces stress on device ports; when disconnecting, press the latch release before pulling to prevent connector damage.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the extension within short runs and in combination with quality CAT5e or higher cables. Avoid tight bends and extreme compression on the cable jacket to maintain signal integrity and locking mechanism function.
