Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8032.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8032.2 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 2 m S/UTP patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. It meets Cat5e specifications and uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain consistent signal quality and reduce contact corrosion. The cable's yellow jacket improves visibility in crowded cable runs and helps with quick identification during installation and maintenance.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielding provides basic protection against electromagnetic interference while preserving flexibility for routing through conduits and racks. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and support stable data transfer. With a 2 m length, the cable balances reach and manageability for desktop setups, patch panels, and short inter-device links. The yellow color simplifies cable management and fault tracing in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches, routers and networked devices within offices or homes
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in small to medium wiring closets
• Temporary or permanent links in structured cabling where visible cable identification is needed
• Home offices, meeting rooms and equipment racks requiring short, reliable Ethernet runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (screened overall, unshielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Yellow
• Rated data transfer: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected, ensuring a firm click to confirm the latch is engaged. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation. For best performance, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. When connecting to patch panels or switches, align the connector fully to avoid partial contacts.

Recommendations

For stable network performance, use this Cat5e cable for connections up to 2 m in environments where Cat5e bandwidth and S/UTP shielding are sufficient. Label both ends when deploying multiple colored cables to simplify future maintenance and record cable runs in your network documentation.
