Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5530.7,5 — Cat5e SF/UTP (S-FTP), RJ-45 to RJ-45, 7.5 m, gold-plated contacts

EFB Elektronik K5530.7,5 is a 7.5 m Cat5e networking cable with SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable is designed for structured cabling, patch panels and direct device-to-device connections in offices, server rooms and home networks. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve conductivity and resist corrosion for stable signal transmission across Fast Ethernet and Gigabit-ready Cat5e links.

Advantages

The S-FTP (SF/UTP) construction combines an overall braided shield with individual foil shielding for pairs, providing improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared to unshielded cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure lower contact resistance and enhanced durability in frequent plug/unplug scenarios. With a 7.5 m length the cable covers common patching distances without excess slack while maintaining the Cat5e specification for up to 1000 Mbps in supported environments.

Suitable for

• Patching between patch panels and switches in office racks
• Connecting computers, printers and networked peripherals
• Home networking and multimedia device linking
• Structured cabling segments that require shielding against EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP (overall braid + individual foil for pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Length: 7.5 m
• Supported link speed: up to Gigabit Ethernet in Cat5e environments
• Typical use: patching, device-to-device linking, structured cabling

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of a switch, router or device and the other connector into the corresponding port on the receiving device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For rack installations, secure excess cable length with Velcro ties or cable management channels rather than tight bends.

Recommendations

Use the cable for indoor installations and patching runs; if installed in environments with high EMI, confirm both ends and intermediate equipment support shielded cabling and connect cable shields to a proper grounding point. Avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to minimize interference and follow local installation standards for structured cabling.
