Cable de red EFB Elektronik EC020200294 RJ-45 Cat8.1 5 m rojo

The EFB Elektronik EC020200294 RJ-45 Cat8.1 cable is a 5 m red networking cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to the Cat8.1 standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is suitable for demanding local network environments where low interference and reliable throughput are required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 specification and S/FTP shielding provide robust protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, preserving signal integrity in congested cable environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The 5 m length balances reach and signal quality, while the distinct red color makes cable routing and identification straightforward in racks, patch panels, or behind workstations.

Suitable for / Use cases

• High-speed server-to-switch connections in data centres or small server rooms
• Workstation or desktop connections requiring low-latency, high-throughput links
• Patch panels and structured cabling where Cat8.1 performance is desired
• Environments with high electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Standard: Cat8.1
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data transfer: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors into matching RJ-45 ports on networking equipment such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the 5 m cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to maintain shielding integrity and prevent signal degradation. If used in a patch panel or rack, label both ends as needed for easy identification.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable between short to medium distance endpoints (such as between racks or from a patch panel to a switch) and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Periodically inspect connector contacts for contamination and ensure strain relief is applied where the cable may be subject to movement.
