Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8015.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8015.5 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable in yellow, designed for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-TX). It features SF/UTP (S-FTP) construction with foil and braid shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain stable data transmission. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs compliant with IEC 60603-7-3 and wired to the TIA/EIA 568B standard. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) and meets flame retardant IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 requirements.

Advantages

The cable’s SF/UTP shielding and shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 connectors provide improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables. Cat5e specification and AWG26/7 stranded conductors support Gigabit Ethernet performance over typical installation distances. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic emissions and smoke in case of fire, and the mounted strain relief boot helps protect the connector termination during handling and installation.

Suitable for

• Home and small office Ethernet connections
• Patch panels and network switches supporting Gigabit speeds
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to limit interference

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plug on one end of the EFB Elektronik K8015.5 cable to a network device (switch, router, patch panel or network port) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the strain relief boot seats against the port to maintain shielding continuity. Follow standard network wiring practices and the TIA/EIA 568B pinout for consistent cable termination when replacing or extending cabling.

Recommendations

For optimal Gigabit performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling on the cable; maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter and avoid running the cable in parallel alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.
