Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8701.25 RJ-45 Cat5e 25 m grijs

The EFB Elektronik K8701.25 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 25 m grey cable designed for structured cabling and device connections. Built to Cat5e standard, it supports high-speed data transfers up to 2500 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The cable uses S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity across longer runs, making it suitable for office, home, and small data-network installations.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers a balance of performance and compatibility for common Ethernet networks. The S/UTP shielding lowers susceptibility to external noise while the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. With a 25 m length, the cable allows flexible placement of devices without intermediate repeaters, and the neutral grey colour integrates unobtrusively into most environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and networked peripherals to switches or routers
• Wiring small office or home networks with distances up to 25 m
• Temporary or permanent patching in structured cabling setups
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Length: 25 m
• Shielding: S/UTP (shielded overall with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 – both ends, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network port of your device and the other end to a switch, router or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure a stable link. For optimal performance, avoid tightly coiling the cable or placing it parallel to high-power electrical lines that could introduce interference. When routing the cable through conduits or behind furniture, maintain gentle bends and avoid crushing or excessive tension.

Recommendations

Use the EFB Elektronik Cat5e cable for standard Ethernet speeds and general networking tasks within the cable's 25 m length. For runs beyond 25 m or for applications requiring higher bandwidth and futureproofing (such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet), consider higher-category cables. Regularly inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if physical wear compromises performance.
