Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5530.3 Green 3m Cat5e SF/UTP

Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5530.3 Green 3m Cat5e SF/UTP is a 3 m, Cat5e-class patch cable with SF/UTP shielding and moulded RJ45 connectors. The cable uses 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors, has a PUR outer jacket (RAL 6018) with a diameter of 6.2 mm and an extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +80 °C. Both RJ45 plugs are shielded and conform to IEC 60603-7-3 with 50 µin gold-plated contacts and a minimum contact durability of 750 mating cycles.

Advantages

The SF/UTP construction and 360° shield contact provide low impedance and good EMC characteristics to reduce interference. Gold-plated contacts and moulded strain relief with latch protection enhance reliability and mechanical durability. PUR jacket offers flexibility and resistance suitable for industrial and demanding environments, while the extended temperature range supports outdoor and temperature-variable applications.

Suitable for

• Office and home Ethernet connections (Cat5e)
• Industrial networks requiring improved EMC performance
• Patch panels, switches and network devices with RJ45 ports
• Environments with temperature variation or mechanical stress

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Cable type: Cat5e SF/UTP, 4 x 2 x AWG26/7
• Outer jacket: PUR, RAL 6018, Ø = 6.2 mm
• Connectors: 2 × RJ45, shielded
• Standards: IEC 60603-7-3
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold
• Contact durability: ≥ 750 mating cycles
• Temperature range: -40 °C … +80 °C

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices (e.g., switch, router, PC). Ensure the plugs are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the cable for standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet links according to Cat5e performance. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force; the moulded strain relief reduces stress at the connector but do not use the latch as the primary cable support.

Recommendations

For best EMC performance, ground the connected equipment and avoid routing the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines. Inspect connectors periodically for wear; replace the cable if contact performance deteriorates or the jacket is damaged.
