networking cable EFB Elektronik K5450.15

The EFB Elektronik K5450.15 is a 15 m Cat5e crossover patch cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and two shielded RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3). Designed for Gigabit Ethernet at up to 100 MHz, the cable features foil and braid shielding over four twisted pairs (4 x 2 x AWG26/7) and a PVC jacket with an outer diameter of 5.7 mm. The moulded red strain relief includes latch protection and the cable meets flame retardant standard IEC 60332-1.

Advantages

The cable provides shielded connections that reduce electromagnetic interference and support stable Gigabit Ethernet performance. Its SF/UTP construction and moulded strain relief with latch protection improve durability and connector reliability. Compliance with IEC 60332-1 enhances safety in installations where flame retardancy is required.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices requiring a crossover wiring (e.g., certain legacy devices or direct device-to-device links)
• Wired Gigabit Ethernet links up to 100 MHz
• Environments where additional shielding is needed to limit interference

Key specifications

• Length: 15 m
• Category: Cat5e, 100 MHz
• Wiring: Crossover assignment (1-3, 2-6, 3-1, 4-7, 5-8, 6-2, 7-4, 8-5)
• Conductors: 4 x 2 x AWG26/7
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foil + braid)
• Connectors: 2 × RJ45 shielded (IEC 60603-7-3)
• Jacket: PVC, Ø = 5.7 mm
• Flame retardant: IEC 60332-1
• Brand / MPN: EFB Elektronik / K5450.15

How to use

Plug the shielded RJ45 connectors into the corresponding network ports of the devices you wish to connect. Use this crossover cable when a direct device-to-device connection requires swapped transmit/receive pairs. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid sharp bends or stress on the moulded strain relief.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable in standard indoor network installations and avoid exposing the PVC jacket to prolonged sunlight, extreme temperatures, or mechanical abrasion. Check compatibility of connected devices for crossover wiring requirements; if uncertain, consult device documentation or use a standard straight-through patch cable with an intermediate switch or hub.
