Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8704.7,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 7.5m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8704.7,5 networking cable is a 7.5 meter Cat5e patch cable in blue, equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Constructed with S/UTP shielding and gold-plated contacts, this cable supports reliable signal transmission and is suitable for typical office and home network setups. It offers data transfer performance consistent with the Cat5e standard and is intended for connecting computers, switches, routers and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Advantages

S/UTP shielding helps reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and stable contact quality over repeated insertions. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility in positioning devices without extensive cable routing, and the blue jacket enables easy cable identification in structured cabling environments. The cable conforms to Cat5e performance limits, providing appropriate throughput for Fast Ethernet and common Gigabit setups within standard channel constraints.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers
• Linking network switches within the same room or rack
• Home networking and multimedia streaming over Ethernet
• Temporary or permanent patching in small office LAN installations

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: blue
• Rated data transfer: up to 2500 Mbit/s (within Cat5e channel conditions)

How to use

Determine the required routing path and measure to confirm the 7.5 m length suits the installation. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port until the latch clicks; ensure both ends are securely seated in the devices being connected. Where possible, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling on the cable to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding. If installed in a structured cabling environment, label both ends to match your patch panel or port numbering for easier maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use this Cat5e S/UTP cable for typical Fast Ethernet and many Gigabit links within standard channel lengths; for longer runs or environments with high interference, consider higher-category or individually shielded cabling.
