Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200292 RJ-45 Cat8.1 2m Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200292 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 2 m red patch cable engineered for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with the Cat8.1 standard, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity in dense cabling environments, while the visible red jacket helps with port and cable identification in racks and patch panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combined with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provides improved noise rejection and reliable contact performance. The Cat8.1 specification enables very high data throughput suitable for modern network equipment. A 2 m length balances reach and tidy cable management for desk-level and rack-level connections. The red outer jacket offers easy visual identification and organized cable routing in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed server uplinks and switch-to-switch connections
• Data center patching and short backbone links
• Workstation or desktop connections requiring low latency and high bandwidth
• Environments where cable identification and organized layouts are needed

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat8.1
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Length: 2 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port on your device and the other to the switch, router, or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends or kinks in the cable and keep it separated from heavy electrical cabling to reduce potential interference. Use cable management accessories to maintain a neat installation and to prevent strain on connector ends.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density or mission-critical installations, use this Cat8.1 cable for short to medium runs (such as rack-to-rack or device-to-switch) where maximum throughput and strong shielding are required. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and replace cables that show visible damage to preserve signal quality.
