Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8013.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8013.1 is a 1 m Cat5e patch cable with SF/UTP shielding and two shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs. Designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, the green cable supports Gigabit Ethernet data transmission and meets common safety and fire standards for network cabling.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable features SF/UTP construction (foil + braid) and shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3), providing improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable follows TIA/EIA 568B wiring, uses AWG26/7 conductors and a 5.7 mm diameter, and is manufactured with LSZH materials that comply with flame retardant IEC 60332-1, halogen-free IEC 60754-2 and low smoke IEC 61034 standards. A mounted strain relief boot without latch protection reduces stress on the connector during use.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or home networks
• Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T(X)) links over short distances
• Shielded network environments requiring reduced EMI

How to use

Connect each shielded RJ45 plug to the corresponding RJ45 ports on network devices such as switches, routers or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the plugged device recognises the link. This 1 m cable is intended for short patch connections; avoid sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal shielding performance, connect both cable shields to properly grounded metal housings on the devices. Avoid routing the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to minimise electromagnetic interference.
