Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5459.0.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K5459.0.5 is a 0.5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet, the cable uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction with foil and braid shielding to reduce interference. The blue PVC jacket and moulded strain relief boot with latch protection provide a durable connection for short patching runs.

Advantages

Shielded SF/UTP design improves electromagnetic compatibility and helps maintain gigabit transmission quality over short distances. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded and supports Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz, while the moulded strain relief and latch protection reduce connector stress and accidental unplugging. Flame retardant materials comply with IEC 60332-1.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network ports in offices and data closets
• Short patch connections between patch panels and network devices
• Home and small business gigabit Ethernet links

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat5e, 100 MHz
• Connectors: 2 × RJ-45 (shielded), IEC 60603-7-3
• Cable type: SF/UTP (S-FTP) 4 × 2 × AWG26/7, PVC, Ø 5.7 mm
• Coding: TIA/EIA 568B
• Flame retardant: IEC 60332-1
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other into the target port or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For best performance, use this cable for short-range connections within the specified Cat5e environment.

Recommendations

Use the EFB Elektronik K5459.0.5 for short patching runs up to 0.5 m where shielded connections are required; verify that both ends and connected devices support shielding to benefit from the SF/UTP construction.
