Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8072.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8072.2 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 2 m black cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It supports Cat5e performance and a stated data transfer capability up to 2500 Mbit/s, combining F/UTP shielding with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved signal integrity and corrosion resistance. The cable is suitable for connecting routers, switches, PCs and other network devices where reliable wired transmission is required.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain stable data transfer in environments with nearby electrical noise sources. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact quality and reduce oxidative degradation over time. The 2 m length offers flexibility for typical home and office setups while the black outer jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between PCs, routers and switches
• Home and small office network installations
• Temporary connections for testing and configuration of network devices
• Patch panel and rack connections within short cable runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Cable length: 2 m
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Color: Black
• Maximum data rate (manufacturer-stated): up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your router, switch or computer and the other connector into the corresponding device port until the latch clicks. Ensure both devices are powered on and configured for the intended network settings. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain gentle curves and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large transformers or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

Use the cable for short to medium runs inside buildings and for connections where Cat5e performance is appropriate. If longer distances, higher bandwidth requirements, or PoE class limitations are expected, consider verifying device compatibility or selecting a cable category that matches the required specifications.
