Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8703.7 RJ-45 Cat5e 7 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8703.7 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 7 m red S/UTP cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It follows the Cat5e performance class and uses gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain consistent contact and signal transfer. The S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from surrounding devices, helping to keep data transmission stable up to the cable's specified rate.

Advantages

The cable's Cat5e specification supports standard Ethernet speeds while offering improved signal quality through S/UTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance conductivity and corrosion resistance for longer-lasting connections. The 7 m length provides flexibility in positioning networked equipment, and the red jacket makes the cable easy to identify in crowded installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within home or small office networks
• Patch panel to wall socket links in structured cabling installations
• Temporary or permanent connections where a visible, color-coded cable is useful

Key specifications

• Length: 7 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall foil with unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, kinks or sharp edges and keep it separated from power cables where possible to reduce potential interference. For structured cabling, maintain proper cable management with clips or ties while avoiding excessive compression of the jacket.

Recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within the standard 100-meter maximum for twisted-pair Ethernet runs and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors before use and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts are visibly damaged. The red colour is useful for identifying specific network segments during installation and maintenance.
