EFB Elektronik Cat5e SF/UTP RJ-45 Networking Cable, 1.5 m, Grey

The EFB Elektronik Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable is a high-quality 1.5-meter patch cord engineered for reliable data transmission in professional and home network environments. This cable features double shielding, consisting of both foil and braid, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference to ensure a stable and consistent connection. It is constructed with high-grade materials that meet strict safety standards, including flame retardancy and halogen-free properties, making it a safe choice for various indoor installations.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this cable is its robust SF/UTP shielding, which provides superior protection against external signal interference compared to unshielded alternatives. The use of LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) materials ensures that the cable does not release toxic gases in the event of a fire, complying with international safety regulations. Furthermore, the inclusion of Hirose TM11 RJ45 connectors ensures a precise and durable physical connection, while the integrated strain relief boot protects the cable from damage during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers to network switches or routers
• Linking network devices in home or professional office setups
• Applications requiring reliable 1 Gigabit Ethernet performance
• Installations where flame-retardant and low-smoke cables are mandatory

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for high-speed data requirements exceeding 1 Gigabit per second, such as 10GBASE-T networks, where Cat6a or higher standards are recommended. Additionally, the lack of latch protection on the connector boot may make it less suitable for environments where cables are frequently plugged and unplugged in tight, high-density spaces.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foil and braid)
• Length: 1.5 meters
• Connectors: 2 x Hirose TM11 RJ45
• Wiring standard: TIA/EIA 568B
• Cable diameter: 5.7 mm
• Material properties: Flame retardant, halogen-free, low smoke

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the Ethernet port of your networking device until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade signal quality. The cable is designed for plug-and-play operation and does not require any additional configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat.5e standards
• Check if your environment requires specific fire safety ratings

For optimal network performance, avoid running Ethernet cables parallel to power lines to prevent potential signal interference.
