Networking cable EFB Elektronik LOGON UTP Cat5e, 3 m, RJ-45–RJ-45, red

EFB Elektronik LOGON UTP Cat5e patch cable, 3 m length, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends in red. This unshielded twisted-pair (U/UTP) cable is built to Cat5e specifications for Fast Ethernet and is compatible with gigabit links over shorter runs. The 26/7 stranded conductor construction and 100 ohm characteristic impedance provide reliable signal integrity for structured cabling in home, office and light commercial installations. Molded boots with kink protection and strain relief help protect the RJ-45 terminations during handling and frequent reconnections.

Advantages

The cable offers a balanced combination of flexibility and durability thanks to stranded 26/7 conductors, making it easy to route in patch panels and through cable channels. Its red jacket improves visual identification and cable management in multi-run environments. With standardized Cat5e performance and 1:1 pinout wiring, the cable connects directly between devices with RJ-45 ports without adapters. Molded boots include integrated strain relief to reduce connector stress and extend service life.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers within local area networks
• Patching between wall outlets and patch panels in office racks
• Temporary or permanent installations where color-coded cabling is required
• Home networking, multimedia streaming and everyday internet access

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a device such as a computer, switch or router and plug the other end into the corresponding port on the network outlet, patch panel or another device. Ensure both devices are powered and that network interfaces are configured as required. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; the molded boots provide strain relief but the cable should not be pulled forcefully. For best performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for Cat5e links.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat5e patch cable for short horizontal runs, patch panels and device-to-device connections. Avoid running unshielded cables in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. For permanent backbone or long-distance gigabit installations, consider higher-category or shielded alternatives when appropriate.
