Networking cable EFB Elektronik EC020200297 RJ-45 Cat8.1 15 m Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200297 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 15 m red S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It supports Cat8.1 performance with a rated data transfer speed of up to 40000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends for improved contact and reduced corrosion. The cable’s S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for demanding network environments that require stable, low-noise links.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat8.1 specification and S/FTP construction offer enhanced bandwidth and shielding compared with lower-category copper cables, enabling reliable high-frequency transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and long-term durability. A 15 m length provides flexibility for connecting equipment across rooms or within server racks while the bright red jacket makes cable identification and routing easier in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections in data centers and server rooms
• Workstation to switch or patch panel links requiring long reach
• Audio/video transmission and professional AV setups with networked devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Length: 15 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foiled twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the network port on your switch, router or wall outlet and the other connector to the device requiring network access. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on connector ends; maintain minimum bend radius consistent with typical copper patch cable handling. For permanent installations, confirm port negotiation and link speed on both endpoints after connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its intended Cat8.1 application range and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Test link speed and integrity after installation and consider additional strain relief or cable management when deploying across longer runs or within dense cable environments.
