Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8015.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8015.2 is a 2 m Cat5e networking patch cable in yellow, designed for 1 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses SF/UTP construction with foil and braid shielding around the twisted pairs and is terminated with two shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3). The cable conforms to TIA/EIA 568B pinout and meets flame retardant and low-smoke, halogen-free standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034, IEC 60754-2). A mounted strain relief boot is fitted without latch protection.

Advantages

The cable delivers reliable 1 Gbps data transmission over Cat5e-rated 100 MHz cabling and benefits from SF/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs provide secure, industry-standard terminations. Low-smoke, halogen-free and flame-retardant materials improve safety in enclosed environments, while the 2 m length and yellow colour make identification and routing in installations easier.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network ports in home or small office LANs
• Patch panel to wall socket or device-to-device patching in data cabinets
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the network ports of the devices you want to connect (for example, switch to computer or patch panel to switch). Ensure connectors are fully inserted into standard RJ45 sockets; mounted strain relief boots are fitted but the cable does not include latch protection, so avoid excessive tension near the connector. Route the cable away from strong sources of electrical noise where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

The K8015.2 is suitable for typical home and office networking; for runs beyond 2 m or for installations requiring connector latch protection, consider using longer cables or different connector styles. Maintain bend radii and avoid sharp kinks to preserve performance.
