Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8015.3 RJ-45 Cat5e 3 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8015.3 is a 3 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet connections. The cable is SF/UTP (foil and braid shielded) with AWG26/7 conductors and a diameter of 5.7 mm, and comes in a yellow jacket for easy identification. It meets industry standards for connector interfaces and safety, including IEC 60603-7-3 for the Hirose TM11 RJ45 plug and flame, halogen and smoke requirements per IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP construction provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables while maintaining Cat5e performance up to 100 MHz. TIA/EIA 568B wiring ensures compatibility with standard network terminations. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, and the mounted strain relief boot without latch protection helps reduce connector stress in typical installations.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections for desktops, switches and routers
• Office and data center patching where shielded cabling is preferred
• Environments requiring LSZH jacketing or easy visual cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Standard: Cat5e, 100 MHz
• Connectors: 2 x Hirose TM11 RJ45 shielded (IEC 60603-7-3)
• Construction: SF/UTP 4 x 2 x AWG26/7, foil and braid shielded, Ø 5.7 mm
• Wiring: TIA/EIA 568B coded
• Jacket: LSZH (flame retardant IEC 60332-1, halogen-free IEC 60754-2, low smoke IEC 61034)
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices (switch, router, PC). Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until seated firmly; the cable uses a mounted strain relief boot without latch protection, so avoid pulling on the cable itself when disconnecting. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for standard Gigabit Ethernet links up to 100 MHz in office and data center patching applications; for environments with higher bandwidth or longer runs consider Cat6 or higher categories.
