Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8704.1,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 1.5m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8704.1,5 is a 1.5 m Cat5e networking patch cable with shielded RJ-45 connectors designed for Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T). Constructed as S/UTP with four twisted pairs (AWG26/7) and a braided shield, it meets TIA/EIA-568B wiring and flame retardant IEC 60332-1 requirements. The cable is blue and fitted with mounted strain relief boots without latch protection.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides up to 100 MHz bandwidth and supports data transfer rates up to 1 Gbit/s. Shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-3) and a braid shield reduce electromagnetic interference. The assembled strain relief boots protect connector termination and improve durability in typical office and rack installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in LANs
• Patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling
• Home and small office network connections requiring shielded cabling

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices or patch panel until the connector seats firmly. Ensure both ends are wired to the same TIA/EIA-568B standard for correct polarity. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear of high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. The mounted strain relief boots provide additional mechanical protection at the connector ends.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in shielded installations, ensure that connected equipment or patch panels provide proper grounding for the cable shield. Avoid tight bends with a radius smaller than the cable diameter and do not expose the cable to direct heat sources.
