Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8096.15 RJ-45 Cat5e 15 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8096.15 is a Cat5e networking cable with a length of 15 m, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and an unshielded U/UTP 4-pair AWG24/7 construction with a PVC outer jacket. The cable supports data rates up to 1000 Mbit/s and meets relevant standards for connector and flame retardancy.

Advantages

This red Cat5e patch cable provides gigabit-capable performance, IEC 60603-7 compliant RJ-45 plugs, and TIA/EIA 568B wiring. The U/UTP 4 x 2 AWG24/7 conductor assembly in a PVC jacket offers flexible handling and reliable signal transmission for short- to medium-length installations. The moulded strain relief reduces stress at the connector ends while the cable meets IEC 60332-1 flame-retardant requirements.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network ports in office and home networks
• Local area network (LAN) links requiring up to 1 Gbit/s
• Patch panel to wall outlet or device-to-device patching

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, routers or computers. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and undue mechanical stress; use the moulded strain relief at the ends to minimise connector strain. For rack or panel installations, leave some slack to allow for movement and maintenance.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet connections up to 1 Gbit/s in office and home environments. Avoid placing the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended runs to reduce potential interference. For outdoor or direct burial use, choose a cable with appropriate UV and moisture protection.
