Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8017.30 RJ-45 Cat5e 30 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8017.30 is a 30 m networking cable built to the Cat5e standard with SF/UTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors. It is designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections where medium-range Ethernet links are required. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and features gold-plated RJ-45 plugs for consistent electrical contact. Its grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office, data centre or home installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity over the full 30 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide corrosion resistance and stable connectivity. Conformance to the Cat5e standard ensures compatibility with widespread Ethernet equipment and typical network infrastructures. The 30 m length allows flexible routing without additional splices or intermediate couplers.

Suitable for

• Ethernet connections between switches, routers and endpoints in offices or homes
• Connecting networked devices in small server rooms or data cupboards
• Temporary networking setups for events or testing where a 30 m cable run is needed
• Structured cabling segments that require Cat5e performance with shielding

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: SF/UTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold plating
• Length: 30 m
• Colour: Grey
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Route the EFB Elektronik K8017.30 cable between network devices ensuring that bends remain within the manufacturer's recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cables. Insert the RJ-45 plugs into compatible Ethernet ports until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For fixed installations, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to minimise potential interference despite the SF/UTP shielding. Terminate and test both ends after installation to confirm link integrity and expected throughput.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e SF/UTP cable for typical Ethernet environments where a 30 m connection is required and shielding is beneficial. Verify device compatibility with Cat5e performance and test the link after installation. Avoid excessive pulling force and sharp bends to preserve cable performance and connector reliability.
