Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat.5e RJ-45 Blue 2m

The EFB Elektronik Cat.5e F/UTP RJ-45 networking cable, 2 m in length and blue in colour, is engineered for reliable 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data transmission. It uses foil-shielded twisted pairs (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and comes with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs compliant with IEC 60603-7-3. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded and includes a mounted strain relief boot without latch protection.

Advantages

This Cat.5e cable supports Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 100 MHz and provides improved protection against external noise thanks to its F/UTP foil shielding. Shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs ensure a reliable, low-loss connection, while the LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free) jacket meets flame retardant and low-smoke standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034). The cable's 2 m length and blue colour make it easy to route and identify in home or office network setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within a local area network
• Patch panel to switch connections in office environments
• Home networking for internet and streaming devices
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of the respective devices (for example, between a PC and a switch or router). Ensure connectors are fully inserted into the ports for a secure connection. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded; when assembling multiple cables in a structured network, use the same wiring standard at both ends to maintain correct pair orientation and signal integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and close proximity to high-voltage power lines. Use the cable indoors in patching and horizontal cabling runs up to its 2 m length; for longer permanent installations, consider certified in-wall or longer-length cables. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding or insulation is compromised.
