Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8704.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1.2 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8704.1 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 1.2 m blue patch cable designed for standard Ethernet connections. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) cabling technology and uses S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, providing stable signal transmission for wired networks. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors compatible with switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides gigabit-capable data transfer over copper wiring while maintaining compatibility with Fast Ethernet and legacy equipment. The S/UTP shielding improves resistance to crosstalk and external noise, which helps preserve signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic devices. The 1.2 m length is convenient for short runs between devices without excess slack, and the blue jacket aids in cable identification and neat cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting a computer or workstation to a network switch or router
• Patch panel to switch connections in small office or home networks
• Short-distance connections in network cabinets or on desktop setups
• Replacing or adding a visible, color-coded horizontal patch cable

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling standard: Cat5e
• Supported speeds: 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet compatible)
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded overall with unshielded pairs)
• Color: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other connector into the matching port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the clip locks to maintain a stable connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as heavy-duty motors or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e S/UTP cable for routine networking tasks where a short, shielded patch lead is required. For runs longer than 100 meters or for environments requiring higher bandwidth or improved alien-crosstalk protection, consider higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) and follow structured cabling best practices.
