Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5458.1,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K5458.1,5 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable in red is a 1 m patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and small office environments. Built to Cat5e standard with SF/UTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 2500 Mbit/s and ensures stable signal integrity while reducing electromagnetic interference. Its compact 1 m length and vivid red jacket make it suitable for short runs, visible cable management, and color-coded network installations.

Advantages

SF/UTP shielding protects the twisted pairs from external electromagnetic noise while providing consistent performance over the specified frequency range. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion for a durable connection. The Cat5e construction meets common Ethernet requirements for Gigabit and fast Ethernet networks, and the red outer sheath helps with quick identification and neat routing in patch panels and desktop setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, switches, routers and patch panels within racks or workstations
• Short cable runs in home networks, offices and server rooms
• Color-coded network layouts for easier cable management
• Temporary setups for testing or configuration tasks

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e, SF/UTP (shielded foil over unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Color: red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks in the cable and keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power transformers or large motors.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat5e SF/UTP cable for short, visible connections where easy identification and shielding are important. Replace the cable if connectors show signs of wear or if data errors are detected; for longer links or higher-performance requirements, consider Cat6 or higher-rated cables.
