Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8706.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8706.1 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 1 m green S/UTP patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The cable complies with Cat5e performance and supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s, making it suitable for typical home, office and small business network setups requiring reliable, shielded connections.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity in environments with nearby electrical equipment or bundled cabling. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide stable contact quality and reduce the risk of oxidation over time. The 1 m length offers a compact, tidy connection between nearby devices while the green jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels or cable runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers in small office or home networks
• Patching between wall outlets and network devices
• Short runs in server racks or network cabinets where shielding is beneficial
• Environments where color-coding of cables simplifies cable management

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall foil shield with unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Colour: Green

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into your network device (router, switch or PC) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the target device or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle loops rather than tight bends to preserve signal performance and cable longevity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines or heavy electrical equipment. Use the green colour for visible cable identification in patch panels and label both ends if used in larger installations. For distances beyond short local runs, consider higher-category cabling if future bandwidth needs are anticipated.
