Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8072.7 7.5 m Cat5e F/UTP (FTP) RJ‑45 gold contacts Black

EFB Elektronik K8072.7 is a 7.5 m Cat5e networking cable with F/UTP (FTP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and features gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts for improved conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The F/UTP construction reduces external electromagnetic interference by enclosing the twisted pairs within an overall foil shield, making this cable suitable for reliable Ethernet connections in offices, homes and professional network installations.

Advantages

The F/UTP (FTP) shielding provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, improving signal stability in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold‑plated contacts on the RJ‑45 plugs ensure consistent low-resistance connections and help prevent signal degradation caused by corrosion. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility for desk-to-switch or patch-panel connections without excess slack, and Cat5e specification supports common Ethernet speeds while maintaining backward compatibility with existing network hardware.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between computers, routers, switches and patch panels
• Office and home networks where interference reduction is required
• Network installations that need a mid-length cable for desk, wall or rack connections
• Environments with multiple electronic devices that can cause EMI

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Length: 7.5 m
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Contacts: Gold‑plated
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of your computer, router, switch or other Ethernet device, and insert the other plug into the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure the connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension or contact with high‑power cables; the overall foil shield requires appropriate handling to prevent damage to the jacket or connectors. For best results, verify link status indicators on the connected devices and run a network speed or continuity test if diagnosing connectivity issues.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e F/UTP cable in environments where improved immunity to external interference is needed. Avoid running the cable parallel to mains power lines or through areas with strong electromagnetic fields. For long permanent installations or higher bandwidth requirements, consider higher category cables (Cat6 or Cat6a) instead.
