Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8072.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m zwart

The EFB Elektronik K8072.1 RJ-45 Cat5e 1 m Black networking cable is a shielded Ethernet lead designed for connecting network devices over short to medium distances. Compliant with Cat5e specifications and equipped with F/UTP shielding, this 1 m cable reduces electromagnetic interference while maintaining stable data transmission. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s, making it suitable for typical office, home and small server room environments where a compact, durable link is required.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded variants, helping to maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors offer stable contact performance and lower risk of oxidation over time. The Cat5e standard ensures compatibility with common Ethernet equipment while supporting elevated throughput up to 2500 Mbit/s. The 1 m length and black finish make the cable convenient for neat, short routing behind desks, patch panels or network switches.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers in home and office networks
• Patching between network equipment in racks and patch panels
• Short runs behind desks or between adjacent network devices
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Nominal length: 1 m
• Colour: Black
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the port of the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, heavy compression or proximity to high-voltage power lines to preserve shielding effectiveness and cable life. For best performance, use the cable within typical Cat5e installation practices and avoid exceeding the recommended run length for the environment.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m F/UTP Cat5e cable for short, direct connections where shielding is needed to reduce interference. Inspect connectors periodically for damage or contamination and replace the cable if connector contacts become corroded or the jacket is damaged. For higher-speed backbone links or longer runs, consider higher-category cables (Cat6/Cat6a) according to network requirements.
