Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8012.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8012.2 is a 2 m Cat5e networking cable with shielded RJ45 connectors designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet. The cable uses SF/UTP construction with foil and braid shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and follows TIA/EIA 568B pinout. It is halogen-free, flame-retardant and produces low smoke in accordance with IEC standards, and comes in a red jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The SF/UTP design and shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) provide improved signal integrity and protection against external noise for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The cable meets multiple safety standards including IEC 60332-1 (flame retardant), IEC 60754-2 (halogen-free) and IEC 61034 (low smoke). A mounted strain relief boot without latch protection helps reduce mechanical stress at the connector.

Suitable for

• Office and home network connections for 1 Gbps devices
• Patch panels and switches using TIA/EIA 568B wiring
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Visible cable runs where red color is desirable for identification

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, switches or patch panels following TIA/EIA 568B wiring. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place; note that the cable includes a mounted strain relief boot without latch protection, so handle the plug carefully when inserting or removing to avoid stress on the connector. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable in standard 1 Gbps Ethernet installations with shielded equipment or in areas with potential interference. Do not exceed recommended bend radius and avoid mechanical strain on the connectors to maintain signal quality and connector integrity.
