Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8032.3 RJ-45 Cat5e 3m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8032.3 is a 3 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Constructed with S/UTP (shielded twisted pair) design and gold-plated contacts, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and provides a visible yellow jacket for easy identification in patching environments. It is intended for wired Ethernet connections between network devices that accept standard RJ-45 plugs.

Advantages

The S/UTP (STP) shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or multiple cables. Gold-plated contacts offer improved conductivity and corrosion resistance for reliable long-term connections. The 3 m length balances reach and neat cable management, and the yellow colour aids quick visual sorting and identification among other network runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, routers and networked printers within offices or home networks
• Patch panel to switch connections in small server rooms and network cabinets
• Temporary or permanent cabling where clearly visible colour-coding is preferred

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Cable length: 3 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (STP)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow
• Maximum data rate (manufacturer stated): up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on the devices you wish to link. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with heavy mechanical stress; maintain gentle curves and use cable ties or organisers for tidy runs. For patch panels and switches, insert the cable into the appropriate port numbers and verify link/activity LEDs on devices to confirm connectivity.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for extended distances and keep it away from high-interference sources. Use the yellow jacket to implement colour-coded cabling schemes for easier maintenance and troubleshooting. Verify device port capabilities to ensure compatibility with Cat5e performance levels.
