Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5517.30 RJ-45 Cat6 30 m Brown

The EFB Elektronik K5517.30 is a 30 m Cat6 S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed Gigabit Ethernet networks. It features moulded RJ-45 plugs with shielding (IEC 60603-7-5) and a screened S/FTP conductor arrangement (4 × 2 × AWG27/7 PiMF) in a low-smoke, halogen-free LSZH jacket with a diameter of 6.2 mm. The cable is wired to the TIA/EIA 568B standard and includes moulded strain relief with latch protection, meeting flame-retardant and low-smoke standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034).

Advantages

The cable supports 5 Gigabit Ethernet speeds and Cat6 performance up to 250 MHz while the S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The LSZH jacket offers reduced smoke and no halogen emissions in case of fire, and the moulded strain relief with latch protection improves connector durability and handling during installation.

Suitable for

• Wired home and office network connections
• Server rooms and network cabinets
• High-speed data transfer between switches and routers
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

• Conductor / shielding: S/FTP 4 × 2 × AWG27/7 PiMF
• Cable diameter: Ø 6.2 mm
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B
• Jacket: LSZH (flame retardant IEC 60332-1, halogen free IEC 60754-2, low smoke IEC 61034)
• Other: silicon free, moulded strain relief with latch protection

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; maintain bend radius recommended for Cat6 cables and keep cable runs separate from high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within its specified length and frequency limits, test connections with appropriate network testers after installation, and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the LSZH jacket.
