Networking Cable EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/FTP Cat5e Black 0.5 m

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/FTP Cat5e networking cable 0.5 m provides a compact physical link for Ethernet connections where short, reliable cabling is needed. It is constructed with foil and braided shielding (S/FTP) to limit electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short runs. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in black with copper-plated contacts, the cable is intended for straightforward plug-and-play use with switches, routers, patch panels and endpoint devices that support Cat5e performance.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, improving stable data transfer in environments with multiple networked devices or nearby electrical equipment. The short 0.5 m length minimises excess cabling in patch panels or desktop setups, helping keep racks and workspaces tidy. Copper-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs deliver consistent electrical contact and improved durability for repeated insertions.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch and server or patch panel ports
• Desktop or workstation network connections where excess cable should be avoided
• Rack-mounted equipment and structured cabling in confined spaces
• Home network setups requiring Cat5e performance for internet and LAN

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e supporting Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet distances within standard limits
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on individual pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure physical connection. Use this cable to link network devices such as switches, routers, PCs, patch panels or network printers over short distances. Avoid sharp bends near the ends and do not stretch the cable; maintain gentle curves and secure routing to prevent stress on the connectors and internal conductors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in environments where Cat5e bandwidth is sufficient and keep runs short to preserve signal quality. When routing through racks or cable management channels, avoid proximity to high-power electrical lines despite the S/FTP shielding, and periodically inspect connectors for wear if the cable is frequently re-plugged.
