Network patch cable EFB Elektronik K8110RT.15, Cat5e U/UTP, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 15 m, red

EFB Elektronik K8110RT.15 is a 15 m Cat5e patch cable with U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair) construction and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable supports standard Ethernet signals for 10/100/1000 Mbps networks and is intended for reliable patching between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and wall sockets. A red outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling installations and reduces the chance of accidental disconnection when multiple cables are present.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat5e specification and U/UTP design provide consistent signal integrity for typical office and home networks while maintaining flexibility for routing and installation. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts improve electrical contact and corrosion resistance for sustained performance. The 15 m length gives extended reach without the need for intermediate joins, and the colored jacket simplifies identification in cable bundles or network racks.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, printers and access points to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or switch to wall outlet links
• Home network and small office Ethernet cabling
• Temporary network setups and testing where a visible cable color is useful

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (meets Cat5e performance)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 15 m
• Outer jacket color: red
• Typical supported speeds: 10/100/1000 Mbps (depending on network equipment)

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector firmly into the network port of the devices to be connected until the locking tab clicks. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and do not route the cable through sources of heat or sharp edges. For installations through cable trays or conduits, ensure the cable bend radius is not exceeded and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. When disconnecting, press the connector tab before pulling to protect the latch.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, pair the cable with compatible network equipment rated for Gigabit Ethernet if high-speed links are required. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large transformers or unshielded power cabling to minimise potential interference. Use the red jacket to mark specific circuits or services in a multi-cable installation and label both ends where permanent identification is needed.
