Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8452.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8452.5 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and F/UTP shielding, designed for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. The cable uses four twisted pairs AWG26/7 with a foil shield and complies with TIA/EIA 568B wiring. It is halogen-free, flame retardant and low-smoke according to IEC standards, and features mounted strain relief boots without latch protection for a compact connector profile.

Advantages

F/UTP foil shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable gigabit Ethernet transmission. Cat5e specification and 100 MHz bandwidth support reliable performance in typical office and home networks. The LSZH (halogen-free, low smoke) jacket increases safety in case of fire, and the compact strain relief boots protect the connector while keeping the profile slim.

Suitable for

• Wiring of 10/100/1000Base-T(X) switches and routers
• Patch connections in office and data cabinet environments
• Connections between computers, network printers and NAS devices
• Short-run horizontal cabling and patch panels

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each shielded RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, ensuring the cable is routed without sharp bends and not strained by equipment or furniture. The mounted strain relief boots provide some protection; avoid pulling the cable by the boot. The cable follows TIA/EIA 568B pairing—no rewiring is required for standard patching.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat5e F/UTP cable for runs up to the stated 5 m in environments where EMI suppression and flame/low-smoke characteristics are required. Avoid installation near high-power electrical cables and replace the cable if connectors or shielding are visibly damaged.
