Networking cable EFB Elektronik Cat5e RJ-45 Grey 3 m SF/UTP

The EFB Elektronik Cat5e SF/UTP RJ-45 networking cable, 3 m in length, provides 1 Gigabit Ethernet performance over Cat.5e specification with 100 MHz bandwidth. It is assembled with two shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) on each end and features SF/UTP construction (foil + braid) with 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) and the product meets flame retardant and low-smoke standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034). The RJ-45 connectors are mounted with a strain relief boot and no latch protection.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding (foil and braid) reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal stability in environments with potential crosstalk or external noise. Hirose TM11 shielded RJ45 plugs ensure secure contact and compatibility with TIA/EIA 568B wiring. The LSZH jacket minimizes toxic gases and smoke in case of fire, meeting relevant IEC safety standards. A 3 m length provides flexibility for typical home or office network layouts.

Suitable for

• 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and small office networks
• Connections where additional shielding is required (near electrical equipment or cable bundles)
• Patch panels, switches, routers and network devices using RJ-45 ports

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers, patch panels or computers. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the housing seats on the port; the cable is coded TIA/EIA 568B, so match wiring if terminating or testing with other cables. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension; use the integrated strain relief boot to reduce stress at the connector.

Recommendations

For best performance, route the cable away from high-voltage lines and strong EMI sources. Use the SF/UTP shielded cable in installations where additional protection against interference is needed. Do not expose the cable to temperatures or mechanical stresses beyond typical indoor installation conditions.
