Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik EC020200286 RJ-45 Cat8.1 15 m oranje

The EFB Elektronik EC020200286 RJ-45 Cat8.1 15 m Orange is a high-performance network cable designed for demanding wired connections. Compliant with the Cat8.1 specification, this 15 m cable uses S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to deliver reliable high-speed data transmission up to 40000 Mbit/s. Its bright orange jacket improves visibility in crowded racks and structured-cabling environments while maintaining flexibility for installation.

Advantages

Enhanced S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference, supporting stable signal integrity in dense network environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide low-resistance contact and corrosion resistance for sustained connectivity. The Cat8.1 specification and quality construction enable multi-gigabit and near-future-proof performance for data centers, server rooms and high-bandwidth applications. The 15 m length covers medium-distance runs without additional patching and the colored jacket simplifies cable identification.

Suitable for

• High-speed server-to-switch and switch-to-switch connections in data centers
• Backbone and aggregation links in enterprise networks
• High-bandwidth workstations, NAS and media servers
• Home lab and professional network setups requiring visible cable routing

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 15 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch, server or workstation) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress — maintain the manufacturer-recommended minimum bend radius and avoid running parallel to high-power electrical cabling to reduce interference risks. For permanent installations, verify port capability and configure network settings according to your infrastructure requirements.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat8.1 cable for short to medium backbone runs and within the same patching topology where Cat8 performance is supported by both endpoints. Test connections with appropriate network diagnostic tools after installation and avoid excessive pulling force when routing through conduits or cable trays.
