Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5459.25 25m Cat5e SF/UTP Blue

The EFB Elektronik K5459.25 is a 25 m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable designed for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)). It has moulded RJ45 connectors on both ends, foil-and-braid shielding and a flame-retardant PVC jacket, providing a reliable blue patch cable for structured cabling and device connections.

Advantages

This Cat5e SF/UTP cable supports Gigabit speeds up to 1 Gbit/s and meets TIA/EIA 568B wiring. The cable uses 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors with foil and braid shielding (SF/UTP) and shielded RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3), which reduces electromagnetic interference. The moulded strain relief boots with latch protection improve connector durability, and the PVC outer jacket with IEC 60332-1 flame retardancy increases safety in installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and networked devices in offices and homes
• Structured horizontal cabling for Gigabit Ethernet
• Patch panels and wall outlets requiring shielded Cat5e cables

Key specifications

• Length: 25 m
• Standard: Cat5e, 100 MHz
• Cabling: SF/UTP, 4 x 2 x AWG26/7
• Connectors: 2 × shielded RJ45 (IEC 60603-7-3), TIA/EIA 568B
• Outer jacket: PVC, flame retardant (IEC 60332-1)
• Colour: Blue
• Suitable for: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Route the cable between network devices or through structured cabling paths, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ45 plug into the device or patch panel until the latch clicks. Use the moulded strain relief to protect the connector from pulling forces. For fixed installations, secure the cable along cable trays or using appropriate clips without compressing the shielded pairs.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs under recommended Ethernet maximum distances and separate shielded runs from power cabling. Terminate shields correctly at patch panels or device ports to maintain the SF/UTP shielding effectiveness. Inspect connectors and strain relief boots periodically in high-traffic areas.
