Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8012.3 RJ-45 Cat5e 3 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8012.3 is a 3 m Cat5e SF/UTP networking cable with shielded RJ45 connectors designed for Gigabit Ethernet. Constructed from 4 pairs of AWG26/7 conductors within a foil and braid shield and finished in red, the cable meets industry wiring and safety standards and is suitable for reliable wired network connections in homes, offices and data closets.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) and is coded to TIA/EIA 568B for consistent pinout. The shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) and SF/UTP construction provide improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables. The cable jacket is halogen-free, flame-retardant and low-smoke certified (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034), and the connectors include mounted strain relief boots for mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Patch panels, switches and routers in office and home networks
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to reduce EMI

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Category: Cat5e (100 MHz)
• Connector A / B: 2 × Hirose TM11 RJ45 shielded (IEC 60603-7-3)
• Cabling: SF/UTP, 4 × 2 × AWG26/7 with foil and braid shield
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B
• Standards: Flame retardant IEC 60332-1, halogen-free IEC 60754-2, low smoke IEC 61034
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector seats; the mounted strain relief boot helps prevent undue stress at the connector. Follow standard network wiring practices and the TIA/EIA 568B pinout when terminating patch panels or custom installations.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii above the cable manufacturer’s minimum. Use shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment when deploying SF/UTP cable in environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
