Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 5m Black

The EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 networking cable, 5 m in length, provides a straightforward solution for wired Ethernet connections between routers, switches, computers and other network devices. Constructed to Cat5e specification with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable is intended to deliver reliable performance while reducing electromagnetic interference. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for home and office installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding improves noise rejection compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transfer in environments with potential interference. Cat5e compliance ensures compatibility with common 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T network equipment for typical local-area networking needs. The 5 m length balances reach and cable management for desk-to-switch and patch-panel connections, while RJ-45 terminations provide universal plug-and-play compatibility.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or printers to a network switch or router
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in small offices
• Home network connections for streaming, gaming and internet access
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling in small server or network closets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e standard for enhanced performance compared with Cat5
• Shielding type: SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends for standard Ethernet ports
• Cable length: 5 m
• Color: Black outer jacket

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the Ethernet ports of the devices you wish to link, such as a computer and a router or a switch and a wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks or contact with high-power electrical cabling to maintain signal integrity. For installations through raceways or conduits, verify the conduit diameter accommodates the 5 m cable without excessive compression.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines where possible and keep bend radius greater than the diameter of the cable. Use cable ties or holders that do not overly compress the jacket, and test connections with a network tester after installation to confirm link speed and continuity.
