Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 2m Black

The EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 2m Black networking cable is a 2-metre patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding. Designed for typical home and office network connections, the cable supports standard Cat5e performance for Ethernet links and provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its foil and braided shielding construction. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for visible runs and structured cabling in mixed environments.

Advantages

SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal stability in environments with multiple electronic devices. The two RJ-45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patchpanels. A 2 m length offers flexibility for desktop, rack and wall-mounted setups without excess cable clutter. The black PVC jacket provides basic mechanical protection and a neutral look for professional installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, printers and networked devices to routers or switches
• Patch connections in office and home network cabinets
• Short horizontal cabling between wall outlets and desktop equipment
• Temporary or permanent connections in mixed electronic environments

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet in typical use)
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S-FTP) – overall foil plus individually braided drain/foil combination
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, 8P8C standard
• Colour: Black
• Conductor type: twisted pair copper conductors (unmarked gauge typical for Cat5e)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as routers, switches or computers until the connector latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated to maintain reliable contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference. For rack or desk installations, use cable management clips or ties to maintain a tidy layout and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines for long distances and maintain gentle bend radii. Verify network settings and port speeds on connected devices when deploying for Gigabit links, and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
