Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8091.30 RJ-45 Cat5e 30 m Magenta

The EFB Elektronik K8091.30 networking cable is a 30 m Cat5e U/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts. Designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections, this magenta cable supports reliable data transmission and provides consistent electrical performance for Ethernet networking at typical Cat5e rates.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers a balanced combination of length and signal integrity suitable for longer runs within offices, server rooms or residential installations. The U/UTP construction reduces crosstalk between pairs while keeping the cable flexible for neat routing. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact conductivity and reduce corrosion risk, helping maintain stable connections over time. The magenta jacket simplifies visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Ethernet LAN connections up to Cat5e performance
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and wall jacks
• Office, home network and small server room cabling
• Runs where cable identification by colour is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs, overall unshielded)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Nominal data rate: supports up to typical Cat5e speeds (up to 1 Gbit/s; specified device throughput may vary)
• Colour: magenta

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight loops to preserve performance. Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the device ports until the latch clicks. For long cable runs, avoid running the cable in parallel with heavy power lines to reduce potential interference. Test the connection with a network tester or by verifying link status on connected equipment to confirm proper installation.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections where a 30 m length is required and colour-coded cabling helps organisation. For higher bandwidth requirements or future-proofing beyond gigabit Ethernet, consider Cat6 or higher categories. Store unused cable coiled loosely and protect connector ends from dust when not in use.
