Networking cable EFB Elektronik K0993.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K0993.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Black is a Category 5e networking cable designed for Ethernet and structured cabling applications. It measures 1 m in length, is finished in black, and features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts. The cable uses S/UTP shielding and supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s, providing a balance of performance and compatibility for home and office networks.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and maintain conductivity over time. The 1 m length offers a compact solution for connecting devices in close proximity without excess cable slack. Compatibility with Cat5e standards ensures interoperability with a wide range of network devices and infrastructure.

Suitable for

• Connecting a desktop or laptop to a router, switch, or wall outlet
• Short patch connections in network cabinets or under desks
• Home, small office, or workstation Ethernet links where a 1 m cable is practical
• Environments requiring improved shielding against interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Length: 1 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded uneven pairs with overall braid)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other RJ-45 connector to a router, switch, modem or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends or tight kinks and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For rack or cabinet installations, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet speeds and short links up to 1 m. Verify connector seating and inspect the cable periodically for visible wear. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference. Replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors become damaged.
