Cable de red EFB Elektronik EC020200296 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m rojo

The EFB Elektronik EC020200296 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable in red is a 10 m shielded copper cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to the Cat8.1 specification, it supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends for compatibility with standard network equipment. The cable features S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. Its visible red jacket helps with cable identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides very high bandwidth suitable for demanding network applications while maintaining backward compatibility with lower-category Ethernet ports. The S/FTP shielding offers robust protection against near-end and external interference, which improves signal stability in environments with multiple cables and electronic devices. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and longer connector life. The 10 m length offers flexibility in equipment placement without needing additional patch panels or extenders.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data center uplinks requiring high throughput
• High-performance home or small-office networks for media streaming and large file transfers
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices, and high-speed network interfaces
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil around individual pairs with overall braid)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, network card, or NAS) and the other to the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables and keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference whenever possible. When routing through racks or conduits, allow sufficient slack to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density or industrial environments, use the shielded Cat8.1 cable with properly grounded network equipment and follow structured cabling practices. Verify link negotiation and speeds on connected devices after installation to confirm expected throughput.
