Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200258 RJ-45 Cat8.1 1.5m Grey

The EFB Elektronik EC020200258 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 1.5 m grey cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, it supports very high data transfer rates and is built with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to reduce interference and ensure a stable physical connection across short to medium link lengths.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides enhanced bandwidth capacity and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category copper Ethernet cables. The S/FTP shielding combines overall foil with individually shielded pairs to protect against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The 1.5 m length allows flexible placement in desktop setups, network closets, and patch panels without excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections between switches, routers and servers over short runs
• Connections in data centers and server rooms requiring shielded cabling
• Home and office workstations where low-latency, high-bandwidth links are needed
• Patch panel to network device links in structured cabling installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Maxoretical data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Contact plating: gold-plated connectors
• Color: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a compatible network device (switch, router, network card or patch panel) and the other end to the target device. Ensure both devices support the intended link speed; automatic negotiation will typically select the highest mutually supported rate. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight bundles with power cabling, or sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain optimal signal quality.

Recommendations

The cable is optimized for short to medium runs typical in desktop, rack and patch environments; for permanent installations in environments with high interference or longer distances, verify installation requirements and local cabling standards before deployment.
