Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5457.25 25m Cat5e SF/UTP

The EFB Elektronik K5457.25 is a 25 m Cat5e networking cable designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) connections. It uses SF/UTP construction with foil and braid shielding around the twisted pairs and comes with two shielded RJ45 plugs. The cable is flame retardant to IEC 60332-1 and features a moulded strain relief boot with latch protection for secure connector handling.

Advantages

This Cat5e SF/UTP cable provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference thanks to its foil and braid shielding. The shielded RJ45 plugs conform to IEC 60603-7-3 for reliable connector performance, while the moulded strain relief boot reduces stress on the connector and latch during installation. With 25 m length and support for Gigabit Ethernet, the cable suits medium-distance data links in home and office networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home or office networks
• Wiring between networked devices requiring Gigabit speeds (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Environments where reduced EMI is preferred due to nearby electrical equipment

How to use

Run the cable between network devices, taking care to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electrical noise. Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks; the moulded strain relief helps secure the connection. For permanent installations, ensure the cable length and routing meet local building and fire-safety requirements.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended distances for Gigabit Ethernet and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Use shielded equipment or grounded patch panels when installing SF/UTP cables to ensure the shielding is effective.
