Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8074.7,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 7.5 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8074.7,5 networking cable is a 7.5 m Cat5e patch cable finished in blue with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections, this F/UTP cable reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining reliable signal transmission. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and contact longevity, supporting data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s for typical home and small office network setups.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction provides an overall foil shield to limit external interference in environments with moderate electromagnetic noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer better corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. The 7.5 m length allows flexible placement between networking equipment without tight bends, and the Cat5e specification ensures compatibility with common Ethernet devices and switches.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, routers and switches in homes and small offices
• Linking network devices over intermediate distances (up to 7.5 m)
• Wiring patch panels or wall ports in structured cabling installations
• Temporary or permanent workstation cabling where Cat5e performance is sufficient

Key specifications

• Standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Length: 7.5 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielded overall)
• Colour: Blue
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s (typical for Cat5e environments)

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch, or computer) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure each connector is fully inserted until it clicks to guarantee proper contact with the gold-plated pins. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges, and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance. When terminating to patch panels or wall jacks, use appropriate cable management and strain relief to protect the connector and cable jacket.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable in standard Ethernet setups up to Gigabit speeds where Cat5e meets performance needs. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to mains power cables or large inductive loads; where interference risk is higher, consider shielded installation practices or higher-category cables. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts show wear.
