Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8452.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8452.20 is a 20 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. It uses F/UTP construction (foiled, unshielded pairs) and is TIA/EIA 568B coded to support 10/100/1000Base-T(X) connections. The cable is flame retardant, halogen-free and low-smoke, and comes in grey with a mounted strain relief boot without latch protection.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable provides Gigabit Ethernet performance up to 100 MHz. The foil shield (F/UTP) reduces external interference for more reliable data transmission. Built to safety standards, the cable meets IEC 60332-1 for flame retardancy, IEC 60754-2 for halogen-free construction and IEC 61034 for low smoke emission. Pre-mounted strain relief boots protect the connector area and simplify installation.

Suitable for

• Wired home networks
• Office LAN connections
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels
• Structured cabling supporting 10/100/1000Base-T(X)

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices such as a switch, router or computer. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the mounted strain relief boot reaches the device port. Use the cable for point-to-point links or within structured patch panels following the TIA/EIA 568B wiring scheme.

Recommendations

Avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain the minimum bend radius specified by installation standards and keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources for optimal Gigabit performance.
