Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8452.10 RJ-45 Cat5e 10 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8452.10 is a 10 m Cat5e patch cable designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. It features F/UTP construction with a foil shield around four twisted pairs (4 x 2 x AWG26/7) and delivers 1 Gigabit Ethernet performance at up to 100 MHz. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) and the cable is coded to TIA/EIA 568B. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) and meets flame retardant and smoke/halogen standards.

Advantages

The shielded RJ45 plugs and F/UTP design reduce electromagnetic interference and improve signal integrity in environments with potential external noise. LSZH jacketing minimizes toxic gases and smoke in case of fire, while compliance with IEC flame and smoke standards ensures safer installation in enclosed spaces. The 10 m length provides flexibility for home or office setups and the TIA/EIA 568B coding supports standardised wiring.

Suitable for

• Wiring desktops, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Connecting network equipment where reduced EMI is required
• Data transmission at 10/100/1000 Mbps within a 10 m run

• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free), Ø ≈ 5.4 mm
• Safety standards: IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to a network device (PC, switch or router) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the network infrastructure. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the shielded plug seats correctly. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to maintain signal quality. The mounted strain relief boot protects the connector area during normal handling.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for short to medium runs (up to 10 m) in environments where shielding against electromagnetic interference is beneficial. Do not exceed specified bend radius and avoid exposure to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the LSZH jacket and cable performance.
