Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K0993.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K0993.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Black networking cable is a shielded S/UTP Ethernet lead designed for standard wired network connections. It measures 5 m in length, has RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity, and conforms to the Cat5e specification for typical local area network use. The cable is finished in black to blend into most installation environments and supports data transfer rates suitable for high-speed applications.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and equipment, helping maintain signal integrity in typical office or home environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance for stable long-term connectivity. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between network equipment without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or printers to a router or switch
• Wiring networked devices in home or small office setups
• Linking network switches, patch panels or wall ports within a cabinet or rack
• Temporary or permanent Ethernet connections where a 5 m cable is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Maximum data rate (stated): up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Identify the two devices you wish to connect (for example, a computer and a switch). Ensure both devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported, then insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port until it clicks. Repeat for the other end. Once connected, power on devices and verify link/activity LEDs on network ports or check network settings on the devices to confirm connectivity.

Recommendations

Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy pinching or prolonged exposure to heat sources to preserve performance. For runs near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, maintain separation where possible or consider alternative shielding standards. Use the 5 m length to minimize excess cable in racks or workspaces and label both ends if deployed in structured cabling installations.
