Networking Cable EFB Elektronik Cat.5e RJ-45 Red 3m

The EFB Elektronik Cat.5e F/UTP RJ-45 networking cable in red is a 3 m patch cable designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses F/UTP construction with foil shielding and AWG26/7 conductors, and is fitted with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) on both ends. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded and meets flame retardant and low-smoke, halogen-free standards for improved safety in installations.

Advantages

This Cat.5e cable provides reliable Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 100 MHz frequency. The F/UTP (foil shielded) design reduces electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. Shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs ensure consistent contact and compatibility with shielded network equipment. The LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free) jacket and conformity to IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 offer enhanced fire safety characteristics.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers in office and home networks
• Structured cabling segments requiring shielded connections
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) links up to 3 m

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other end into the corresponding port of a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure that connected equipment supports shielded interfaces if you rely on the cable's shielding for EMC protection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid tight staples or kinks to maintain signal quality.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat.5e F/UTP cable for short runs up to 3 m within racks or between nearby devices. Pair with shielded patch panels and NICs when installing in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Do not exceed the cable's bend radius and avoid mechanical stress on the connectors.
