Networking cable EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e Red 5 m

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e networking cable in red is a 5 m patch cable designed for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet environments. Manufactured in Europe, it combines Daetwyler CU 5502 flex cable with Hirose TM11 RJ45 connectors to provide reliable signal transmission for wired network connections. The cable uses a 4 x 2 x AWG26/7 conductor cross section and features an assembled anti-kink grommet and colour-coded cores for clear identification.

Advantages

This Cat5e S/UTP patch cable delivers very good electrical characteristics suitable for 2.5 GbE applications while remaining compatible with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks. European manufacturing and the use of Daetwyler CU 5502 flex conductors and Hirose TM11 connectors ensure consistent build quality. The anti-kink grommet protects the connector area from bending stress, and the distinct core colours (black, green, red, blue, white, orange, yellow, brown) make termination and troubleshooting easier.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home or office networks
• 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat5e performance is adequate
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment requiring standard RJ45 connections

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/UTP Cat5e
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 (Hirose TM11) on both ends
• Conductor: 4 x 2 x AWG26/7 (Daetwyler CU 5502 flex)
• Colour: Red
• Compatible standards: 10/100/1000Base-T(X); suitable for 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet use

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device (computer, switch, router) and the other end into the corresponding port on the network equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and do not twist the cable excessively to maintain performance. Use the cable for typical Ethernet links at desktop, patch panel and rack locations.

Recommendations

For best results, route the cable away from high-power electrical lines and large cable bundles to reduce interference. Do not exceed the recommended installation bend radius near the connector, and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
