Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8014.3 RJ-45 Cat5e 3 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8014.3 is a 3 m Cat5e Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. It features SF/UTP (foil and braid) shielding and TIA/EIA-568B coding to ensure reliable Gigabit performance and reduced electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) and meets flame retardant and low-smoke standards for safer installation environments. The cable is blue and supplied with mounted strain relief boots without latch protection.

Advantages

Shielded SF/UTP construction (foil and braid) improves signal integrity in environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Cat5e performance supports Gigabit Ethernet (1 Gbit/s) over 100 MHz. LSZH jacket and compliance with IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 standards reduce toxic and dense smoke in case of fire. Pre-mounted strain relief boots provide cable protection at the connector ends.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in offices and homes
• Network switches, routers and patch panels
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection
• Structured cabling using TIA/EIA-568B wiring

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices (for example, switch, router, PC or patch panel). Ensure the TIA/EIA-568B wiring scheme matches at both ends of the structured cabling when integrating into existing installations. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for Gigabit connections up to 100 m total segment length and avoid exceeding the maximum bend radius indicated by the cable diameter. Inspect connectors and strain relief boots for damage before installation.
