Networking cable EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e RJ-45 RJ-45 3 m Red

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/UTP Cat5e networking cable, 3 m in length and finished in red, is designed for wired Ethernet connections between computers, switches, routers and other networked devices. With RJ-45 connectors on both ends and Cat5e specification, the cable supports typical Ethernet speeds and is suitable for structured cabling in home and small office networks. Its S/UTP construction provides standard performance for gigabit-capable links over short to medium distances.

Advantages

This red Cat5e cable offers simple plug-and-play connectivity with standard RJ-45 terminations at each end, enabling straightforward device linking without special tools. The 3 m length provides flexibility when positioning equipment while minimizing excess cable clutter. The S/UTP cabling technology supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) networks, ensuring compatibility with common Ethernet hardware and reliable data transmission at supported speeds.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or printers to a switch or router
• Linking network devices within a small office or home network
• Temporary or permanent patch connections in wall-mounted patch panels
• Setting up a clean, color-coded cabling scheme for easy identification

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example a router or switch) and the other into the destination device (for example a PC or networked printer). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines. After connecting, verify link lights on devices or check network settings on the endpoints to confirm connectivity.

Recommendations

Use this Cat5e S/UTP cable for up to gigabit Ethernet connections in typical home and small office environments. For runs longer than 100 meters or for environments with high electromagnetic interference, consider using higher-category or fully shielded cables. Store and route the cable to avoid excessive bending and mechanical stress to maintain signal integrity.
