Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8014.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8014.5 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) applications. The cable uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction with foil and braid shielding, meets TIA/EIA 568B wiring, and is fitted with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs compliant with IEC 60603-7-3. The blue, low-profile cable has a mounted strain relief boot and is built to low-smoke, halogen-free and flame-retardant standards.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (foil + braid) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity for Gigabit Ethernet. Shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs provide reliable, IEC-compliant connector performance while the mounted strain relief boot protects the plug-cable junction. The cable's LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions and complies with IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 safety standards.

Suitable for

• Wiring of desktops, switches and routers in office or home networks
• Gigabit Ethernet (1000Base-T) connections
• Shielded LAN installations where reduced EMI is required

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the network ports on devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector seats and the mounted strain relief boot is aligned to prevent excessive bending at the plug. Use TIA/EIA 568B termination if adding the cable into structured cabling runs to maintain consistent wiring schemes.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near strong sources of electromagnetic interference. Do not exceed the maximum recommended bend radius and avoid tight kinks; store and route the cable to prevent mechanical damage.
