Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8705.1,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 1.5m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8705.1,5 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 1.5 m black cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It uses Cat5e specification and S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and features gold-plated contacts on both RJ-45 connectors for consistent signal transmission. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and is intended for desktop, office and home network setups where a short, reliable connection is required.

Advantages

S/UTP shielding helps limit external interference and crosstalk, improving signal stability in environments with nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts increase corrosion resistance and maintain better conductivity over time compared with unplated contacts. The 1.5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices placed near routers, switches or wall ports without excess cable clutter. The black jacket provides a neutral appearance that blends with most workstation and AV setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and network printers to a home router or office switch
• Linking network equipment in server rooms or wiring closets for short runs
• Setting up VoIP phones, IP cameras or smart devices that require a wired connection
• Temporary or permanent connections in desktop and multimedia workstations

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: S/UTP (foiled overall shield with unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the router, switch or wall jack. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or sharp kinks and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large transformers or unshielded power cables. For best performance, verify network settings on connected devices and run a speed test if necessary to confirm the expected throughput.

Usage recommendations

For reliable, long-term performance, avoid frequent bending near the connector ends and do not subject the cable to heavy mechanical stress. Use this 1.5 m Cat5e cable for short runs where Cat6 or higher categories are not required; if future-proofing for higher bandwidths is necessary, consider higher-category cables for new installations.
