Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8705.5 RJ-45 Cat5e 5 m zwart

The EFB Elektronik K8705.5 is a 5 m Cat5e networking cable with shielded RJ45 connectors on both ends, designed for Gigabit Ethernet connections up to 1000 Mbit/s. The S/UTP construction (four twisted pairs, AWG26/7) with braid shielding and flame-retardant jacket provides a durable black cable with a 5.1 mm diameter suitable for structured cabling and device interconnections.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable features shielded Hirose TM11 RJ45 plugs compliant with IEC 60603-7-3, a braid shield for reduced interference, and TIA/EIA 568B pin coding for standardised wiring. The PVC jacket is flame retardant to IEC 60332-1 and the cable includes a mounted strain relief boot for secure connector support. The 5 m length balances reach and signal integrity for typical office or home networks.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections (up to 1000 Mbit/s)
• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and network devices
• Structured cabling runs within offices, server rooms, and residential installations

Key specifications

• Conductor: 4 × 2 × AWG26/7
• Diameter: Ø = 5.1 mm
• Length: 5 m
• Wiring code: TIA/EIA 568B
• Frequency: 100 MHz
• Flame retardant: IEC 60332-1
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices such as switches, routers, or computers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the strain relief boot seats against the device port. For best performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. Follow standard TIA/EIA 568B wiring practices when integrating into structured cabling.

Recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, route the cable with gentle curves (minimum bend radius ≈ 4× cable diameter), avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines, and replace the cable if the shielded plugs or jacket are visibly damaged.
