Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8706.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8706.5 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 5 m green patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It meets Category 5e specifications and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and contact reliability. With a stated data transfer capability of up to 2500 Mbit/s, this cable is suitable for typical home and office LAN setups where Cat5e performance is required.

Advantages

The S/UTP shielded design helps minimize external interference from nearby cables and electronic devices, maintaining signal integrity over the 5 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer resistance to corrosion and stable electrical contact. The green jacket makes the cable easy to identify in installations, while Cat5e compliance ensures compatibility with a wide range of network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, and network printers to routers or switches
• Patch connections in small office or home network racks
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 5 m length is required
• Environments where reduced interference is desirable thanks to S/UTP shielding

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Green
• Declared data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, ensuring the clip locks in place. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For wall-mounted or rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties to prevent strain on the connectors. The cable is ready to use without additional configuration; devices will negotiate link speed automatically according to their capabilities and the Cat5e standard.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling. Use this Cat5e cable in networks that do not require higher-category specifications (such as Cat6 or Cat6a) when planning for future bandwidth needs. When running near power lines or large electrical equipment, maintain separation to further reduce potential interference despite the S/UTP shielding.
