Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5530.25 Green 25m Cat5e SF/UTP

The EFB Elektronik K5530.25 is a 25 m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable with moulded RJ45 plugs and integrated shielded connection. The cable uses 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors and a PUR jacket in green (RAL6018) with an outer diameter of 6.2 mm. Connectors are shielded and comply with IEC 60603-7-3; contacts are gold plated (50 µ) and rated for a minimum of 750 mating cycles. The cable supports an extended temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C and provides low impedance differential 360° shield contact for improved EMC performance.

Advantages

The moulded strain relief with latch protection reduces connector stress and improves longevity. SF/UTP shielding and full 360° shield contact deliver good EMC characteristics and reduced interference. Gold-plated contacts increase contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The PUR jacket provides mechanical robustness and resistance to oils and abrasion, suitable for industrial and exposed installations.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections up to Cat5e networks
• Industrial or commercial environments requiring improved EMC protection
• Patching or direct device connections where a 25 m cable length is needed
• Environments with temperature ranges from -40 °C to +80 °C

Key specifications

• Length: 25 m
• Cable type: Cat5e SF/UTP, 4 × 2 × AWG26/7
• Jacket material and colour: PUR, green (RAL6018)
• Outer diameter: 6.2 mm
• Connectors: 2 × moulded RJ45, shielded, IEC 60603-7-3
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold

• Temperature range: -40 °C to +80 °C

How to use

Uncoil the 25 m cable carefully to avoid twists and kinks. Plug the RJ45 connectors into the devices’ Ethernet ports until the latch clicks into place. Ensure the shielded connectors are mated to shielded ports or chassis for best EMC performance. Avoid sharp bends near the connector strain relief and secure the cable to prevent mechanical stress during operation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use in shielded network environments and connect the cable shields to grounded metal housings or patch panels. Avoid exposing the PUR jacket to prolonged exposure to strong chemicals or UV when used outdoors. For permanent industrial installations, verify connector mounting and strain relief to prevent repeated mechanical stress.
