Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5530.20 Green 20m Cat5e SF/UTP

The EFB Elektronik K5530.20 is a 20 m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable in green with two moulded RJ45 plugs. It uses 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors and a PUR outer jacket, providing a cable diameter of approximately 6.2 mm and an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C. Connectors are shielded and compliant with IEC 60603-7-3, with 50 μ gold-plated contacts and a minimum contact durability of 750 mating cycles.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP design with a 360° low-impedance shield contact improves EMC performance and reduces interference. Gold-plated 50 μ contacts ensure reliable conductivity and wear resistance. The moulded strain relief with latch protection increases connector durability, and the PUR jacket provides mechanical robustness and resistance to environmental stresses within the specified temperature range.

Suitable for

• Ethernet networks up to Cat5e performance
• Industrial or commercial installations requiring improved EMC
• Patch and permanent links between switches, routers, and network devices

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Cable type: SF/UTP (shielded foiled pair with overall braid)
• Conductors: 4 x 2 x AWG26/7
• Jacket material: PUR, colour: green (RAL6018)
• Diameter: Ø 6.2 mm (approx.)
• Connectors: 2 × RJ45, shielded, IEC 60603-7-3
• Contact plating: 50 μ gold
• Contact durability: ≥ 750 mating cycles
• Temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C

How to use

Connect the moulded RJ45 plugs to the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers or computers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical strain; use the moulded strain relief to reduce stress at connector ends. For installations requiring shielding continuity, connect cable shields to properly grounded shield points.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and secure it with appropriate routing accessories. When used in environments with high electromagnetic interference, verify that connector shielding is properly grounded to maintain EMC benefits.
