Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8032.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8032.5 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 5 m yellow data cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. Built to the Cat5e standard with S/UTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, it supports reliable data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. Rated for data transfer speeds up to 2500 Mbit/s, the cable is suitable for connecting computers, switches, routers and other network devices in home and small office environments.

Advantages

S/UTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external noise, improving signal integrity over the 5 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide stable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with common Ethernet standards while offering sufficient bandwidth for many modern applications. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify within cable bundles or server racks.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between PCs, switches and routers
• Home networks and small office networking
• Patch panel and rack connections where color-coding is useful
• Temporary installations and network troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure physical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain gentle curves and allow some slack to prevent stress on the connectors. Verify link/activity LEDs on network equipment to confirm a successful connection.

Recommendations

For stable network performance, use this Cat5e S/UTP cable for runs up to 5 meters in dry indoor environments and avoid routing alongside power cables to reduce interference. Use color-coded cables like this yellow cable to simplify identification in multi-cable installations and label both ends if used in structured cabling setups.
