EFB Elektronik LOGON UTP Cat.5e networking cable, 7.5 m, RJ-45 — Red

LOGON UTP Cat.5e patch cable by EFB Elektronik is a 7.5 m unshielded twisted pair (U/UTP) Ethernet cable designed for wired LAN connections. The cable meets Cat5e performance requirements for 100BASE-TX and similar Ethernet applications and is terminated with RJ-45 male connectors on both ends. The red outer jacket provides quick visual identification in patch panels and cable runs, while a molded boot with kink protection and strain relief protects the connector area during installation and regular use.

Advantages

The cable uses four twisted pairs (4 x 2 AWG 26/7) with a characteristic impedance of 100 ohm to ensure consistent signal transmission and reduce crosstalk. The 7.5 m length balances reach and manageability for typical desktop-to-switch and rack-to-patch-panel connections. RJ-45 terminations on both ends and a 1:1 pinout make the cable compatible with standard Ethernet ports without the need for adapters or re-wiring. The colored jacket helps organize multiple runs and simplifies maintenance in home or office networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small server racks
• Linking network-enabled devices such as printers, VoIP phones and access points
• Temporary or permanent wiring in home and small office networks

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e (unshielded)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Conductor: 4 x 2 AWG 26/7 (stranded)
• Impedance: 100 Ohm
• Connectors: RJ-45 male — both ends
• Pinout: 1:1 (straight-through)
• Jacket color: Red
• Molded boot with kink protection and strain relief

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of your device and the other end to a switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; use cable management accessories or clips to keep runs tidy and prevent stress at the connector boots. The straight-through 1:1 wiring supports standard Ethernet link negotiation without additional configuration.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large motors or fluorescent ballasts. Avoid tight coils and maintain bend radii greater than the connector boot length. Use the red jacket for visible identification in multi-cable environments and replace the cable if the jacket or connector shows visible damage.
