EFB Elektronik K8032.1,5 Cat5e S/UTP Networking Cable, RJ-45, 1.5 m, Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8032.1,5 is a high-performance 1.5-meter Cat5e networking cable designed for demanding environments. Featuring S/UTP shielding and a durable, flexible PUR sheath, this cable ensures reliable signal integrity and protection against external interference. It is engineered with high-quality components, including Hirose TM21 connectors, to support data transfer rates of up to 2500 Mbit/s, making it an ideal solution for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Advantages

This patch cable stands out due to its exceptional flexibility and mechanical durability. The use of a specialized PUR sheath allows the cable to withstand rigorous movement, including use in drag chains with a tested lifespan of up to 5 million cycles. Furthermore, the cable is resistant to oil and ozone, ensuring long-term performance in industrial or professional settings where standard cables might fail. The gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors provide superior conductivity and corrosion resistance, maintaining a stable connection over time.

Suitable for

• 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet network connections
• Industrial automation and drag chain applications
• Professional office and home network setups
• Environments requiring high cable flexibility and oil resistance

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the most cost-effective choice for simple, static home office setups where high mechanical flexibility or oil resistance is not required. Additionally, for network infrastructures requiring 10 Gigabit speeds or higher, a Cat6a or Cat7 cable would be a more appropriate choice.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Standard: Cat5e S/UTP
• Data transfer rate: 2500 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 Straight Male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Sheath material: PUR (Polyurethane)
• Color: Yellow
• Mechanical durability: Suitable for drag chains

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or computer, until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends or excessive tension, especially when used in moving applications like drag chains, to maintain the integrity of the internal strands. The cable is plug-and-play and requires no additional configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network hardware supports Cat5e or higher standards.
• Ensure the 1.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance.
• Confirm that the RJ-45 interface is compatible with your devices.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in drag chain applications, ensure the cable is installed with sufficient slack to prevent strain on the connectors during movement. Avoid exposing the cable to temperatures exceeding its specified operating range.
