Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8452.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8452.2 is a 2 m Cat5e patch cable with F/UTP shielding and shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs, designed for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T). The grey, low-profile cable combines foil shielding with a stranded AWG26/7 conductor construction and a mounted strain relief boot for reliable connections in office and industrial network setups.

Advantages

F/UTP construction and shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) provide improved protection against electromagnetic interference; TIA/EIA 568B coding ensures standard-compliant wiring; flame-retardant and halogen-free materials (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2) with low smoke emission (IEC 61034) increase safety in enclosed spaces. The cable's 5.4 mm diameter and LSZH jacket offer flexibility and easier routing in racks and conduits.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network sockets in office and home networks
• Patch panels and structured cabling installations requiring Cat5e performance
• Environments where reduced emissions and halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Length: 2 m
• Standard: Cat5e, 100 MHz, Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T)
• Connectors: 2 × Hirose TM11 RJ45, shielded, TIA/EIA 568B coded

• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the Ethernet ports of your devices (switch, router, PC or patch panel). Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector seats and the strain relief boot aligns with the device housing. The cable follows TIA/EIA 568B wiring; no additional termination is required for pre-assembled patch leads.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain bend radius greater than the cable diameter and keep the cable separated from strong power sources or fluorescent lighting to reduce interference. Use in indoor installations and structured cabling where Cat5e performance and LSZH materials are appropriate.
