Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik EC020200250 RJ-45 Cat8.1 5 m geel

The EFB Elektronik EC020200250 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 5 m yellow S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in modern network environments. It supports Cat8.1 performance parameters with data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain reliable contact and reduce signal loss. The S/FTP shielding configuration minimizes electromagnetic interference, making the cable suitable for dense cabling runs and installations near electronic equipment.

Advantages

This cable combines Cat8.1 bandwidth capability with a 5 m length to deliver low-latency, high-throughput connections for short runs between switches, servers, and active network devices. The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure durable, corrosion-resistant contacts. The yellow jacket improves visibility and color-coded organization in rack and patch panel setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed Ethernet links between network devices in enterprise and SMB environments
• Short-run connections for network test setups and lab environments
• Organized cabling in office racks where color identification is required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat8.1
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Insert each gold-plated RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 5 m length for short cable runs between switches, servers, access points or patch panels. Route the cable following standard cable management practices to avoid sharp bends and to maintain shielding integrity. For best performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical conductors and large sources of electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For optimal results, verify that connected network equipment supports Cat8.1 or compatible high-speed Ethernet standards and that patch panels and switches are installed to maintain shielding continuity. When used in structured cabling, label both ends and avoid tight bends to preserve signal performance.
