Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8705.0,50 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8705.0,50 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a compact patch cable with a length of 0.5 m designed for short interconnections in network racks, patch panels and desktop setups. It supports the Cat5e transmission standard and offers data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s. The cable uses S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated contacts to improve long-term contact reliability. Its black jacket provides a discreet appearance that fits professional and home environments.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable provides a reliable physical connection for Ethernet devices with low insertion loss and stable signal transmission over short distances. The S/UTP shielding lowers susceptibility to external interference from nearby electrical equipment, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce oxidation and ensure consistent connectivity. The 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in patch bays and desk setups, and the black outer jacket offers a neutral look that integrates easily with existing cabling.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or ports within network cabinets
• Short links between routers, modems and desktop PCs
• Office or home LAN setups where short, tidy cabling is required
• Temporary test connections and equipment bench setups

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks into place. Ensure devices are powered off or that hot-plugging is supported by the equipment when connecting between active ports. For patching within racks or cabinets, route the cable along designated cable management channels to avoid sharp bends and maintain the minimum bend radius. To disconnect, press the latch and pull the connector straight out to avoid damaging the plug or port.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for short-distance Ethernet connections; avoid running it alongside high-voltage power lines to reduce interference risks. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace the cable if contacts appear corroded or the jacket is worn.
