Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8095.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m geel

The EFB Elektronik K8095.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Yellow networking cable is a U/UTP Cat5e patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for wired Ethernet connections up to standard Cat5e performance. With a length of 20 m and a bright yellow jacket, this cable provides a visible, straightforward solution for linking devices in home, office, or lab environments. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs help maintain stable connections and reduce oxidation-related signal loss, supporting data transfer rates claimed up to 2500 Mbit/s under compatible conditions.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat5e-rated transmission characteristics with U/UTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to deliver consistent electrical contact and reduced interference for typical Ethernet tasks. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of networked equipment without additional extenders, while the yellow color improves cable identification and organization in patch panels, racks, or mixed-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, routers and NAS devices over copper Ethernet
• Wired LAN setups in homes, small offices and classrooms
• Patch panel to switch or wall jack connections where a visible cable color is preferred
• Temporary or permanent cabling where 20 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded pairs within an overall unshielded jacket)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 20 m
• Product colour: Yellow
• Rated data transfer: up to 2500 Mbit/s (dependent on network hardware and conditions)

How to use

To use the cable, insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices until the locking clip clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it tightly alongside sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. For best results, ensure both connected devices support the required link speed and duplex settings; auto-negotiation on modern switches and network adapters typically configures these automatically.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, avoid exceeding the cable bend radius, keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines, and use the yellow color to mark specific network segments or functions in cable management schemes. Inspect connectors periodically for wear or damage and replace the cable if contacts or jacket are compromised.
