Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8014.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8014.1 is a 1 m Cat5e networking cable in blue, equipped with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs and SF/UTP 4x2 AWG26/7 conductor construction. It meets common industry standards for wiring and safety, supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet and is intended for reliable gigabit data transmission in home and office networks.

Advantages

The cable offers shielded RJ45 connectors (IEC 60603-7-3) and a foil-plus-braid (SF/UTP) shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference, combined with TIA/EIA-568B pinout for broad compatibility. The jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free and flame retardant (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034), and a mounted strain relief boot improves mechanical stability at the connector.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network ports in home and small office environments
• Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbps) connections over Cat5e cabling
• Shielded environments where reduced EMI is required

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat.5e, 100 MHz
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: 2 × Hirose TM11 RJ45, shielded (IEC 60603-7-3)
• Construction: SF/UTP, 4 × 2 × AWG26/7
• Coding: TIA/EIA-568B
• Standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Safety: Flame retardant (IEC 60332-1), halogen-free (IEC 60754-2), low smoke (IEC 61034)
• Outer diameter: Ø=5.7 mm

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of devices such as a router, switch or computer. Ensure connectors click into place; the mounted strain relief boot provides protection but avoid excessive bending near the connector. Use the cable for standard network setups configured for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) speeds.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within recommended Ethernet distances (up to 100 m for Cat5e) and avoid routing parallel to high-voltage power lines. In shielded installations, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment to gain full EMI protection.
