Cavo di rete EFB Elektronik K8017.15 RJ-45 Cat5e 15 m grigio

The Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8017.15 RJ-45 Cat5e 15 m Grey is a Cat5e-rated patch cable designed for Ethernet connections in home and small office networks. The cable measures 15 m in length and uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold plating to improve contact conductivity and corrosion resistance. The cable is finished in grey and supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s, providing a balance of performance and flexibility for wired network setups.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielded construction minimizes external interference while maintaining flexibility for routing and installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer improved electrical contact and durability compared with standard unplated connectors. As a Cat5e cable, it supports standard Ethernet applications and can be used for fast data transfer within the specified performance range. The 15 m length allows for longer runs without the immediate need for additional patch panels or repeaters in small-to-medium deployments.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between routers, switches and devices
• Home and small office network cabling
• Connecting networked printers, NAS devices and media streamers
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling where a 15 m length is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat5e
• Length: 15 m
• Shielding: SF/UTP (S-FTP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your router, switch or modem and plug the other RJ-45 connector into the network interface of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves and avoid tight bundling with power cables where possible. For optimal performance, keep the cable’s shielding intact and avoid damage to the outer sheath or connectors.

Recommendations

Use the cable indoors and within the specified length for best signal quality. Avoid exposing the cable to direct sunlight, moisture, or mechanical stress. When installing near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, maintain physical separation or use additional shielding as needed. Regularly inspect connectors for corrosion or damage and replace the cable if performance degrades.
