Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8017.7,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 7,5m grijs

The Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8017.7,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 7.5m Grey is a 7.5 meter Cat5e Ethernet patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses an SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding design to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over typical local network distances. It supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for reliable connector-to-device contact. The grey outer jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home installations.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding improves resistance to external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain stable network performance in environments with potential interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce corrosion and provide consistent electrical contact. The 7.5 m length offers flexibility when routing between network devices without excess slack. Compliance with Cat5e specifications ensures compatibility with a wide range of Ethernet equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and network switches within homes or offices
• Patch connections in small server rooms and network cabinets
• Temporary or semi-permanent wiring where a 7.5 m cable length is appropriate
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat5e
• Length: 7.5 m
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S-FTP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example a router, switch or modem) and the other connector into the destination device (such as a PC, printer or network-enabled appliance). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab engages. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain gentle curves to preserve the internal wire pairs and shielding. For neat installations, secure the cable with cable ties or clips without compressing the jacket.

Recommendations

Use the cable in standard indoor environments and avoid exposing it to prolonged direct sunlight, excessive moisture or temperatures outside typical building conditions. For best performance, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and large sources of electromagnetic noise. Verify device link speeds and settings if the connected equipment does not achieve the expected transfer rates.
