Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8703.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8703.2 RJ-45 Cat5e 2m Red networking cable is a 2 meter S/UTP (STP) Ethernet lead designed for standard Cat5e network connections. It is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts to support stable signal transmission. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and is intended for use in typical home and office networking environments where a short, visible patch cable in red is required.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable combines a flexible 2 m length with shielded pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference in congested cable environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time. The red jacket makes the cable easy to identify within patch panels or desktop setups, facilitating cable management and quick troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or small office networks
• Patch connections in network cabinets and wall outlets
• Short run links between network devices where visual identification is helpful

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e S/UTP (shielded twisted pair)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data transfer rate: 2500 Mbit/s
• Color: Red

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of the devices to be connected, such as a computer and a router, or between a switch and a patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and that there is no excessive bending near the connector boots. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large power cables or unshielded fluorescent lighting.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e cable for typical Ethernet applications up to the supported data rate and for short to medium distance connections within buildings. If longer runs or higher Gigabit performance over structured cabling are required, consider using higher category cables (Cat6 or Cat6a) appropriate for those environments.
