Networking Cable EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e RJ-45 RJ-45 1.5 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e networking cable is a grey, 1.5 m patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends designed for reliable wired network connections. Compliant with Cat5e specifications and intended for 10/100/1000Base-T(X) Ethernet, it provides a straightforward solution for connecting computers, switches, routers and other networked devices where a short, shielded cable is required. The S/UTP construction reduces external interference compared to unshielded alternatives while maintaining flexible handling for everyday installation.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable combines standardized RJ-45 terminations with S/UTP shielding to deliver stable data transmission at Fast Ethernet and Gigabit speeds over short distances. Its 1.5 m length is suitable for desk- or rack-level patching without excess slack, and the grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for residential or commercial environments. The cable’s construction supports straightforward plug-and-play use with typical network equipment and is suitable for environments where electromagnetic interference may affect signal quality.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs to switches or routers
• Patch cabling in office network racks and patch panels
• Linking networked printers, IP phones and NAS devices
• Short-distance Gigabit Ethernet connections within workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat5e (suitable for Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded foil with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Cable length: 1.5 m
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Color: Grey

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your computer, switch, router or other device and insert the other end into the corresponding port of the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For rack installations, route the cable through cable management channels to avoid sharp bends and keep the 1.5 m length free of tension. No special configuration is required for typical Ethernet devices; most will establish a connection automatically after the physical link is made.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to large sources of electromagnetic interference. Use the 1.5 m length for short patch runs and consider longer shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cables for longer distances or future bandwidth needs. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible wear.
