Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5528RT.10 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10m Red

The EFB Elektronik K5528RT.10 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10m Red is a high-speed network cable designed for demanding wired Ethernet environments. Compliant with Cat8.1 and 40GBase-T cabling technology, this 10-metre cable supports data transfer rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The S/FTP shielding construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while the visible red jacket simplifies identification and routing in dense cable installations.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides very high bandwidth suitable for modern data center links, server connections, and high-throughput workstations. The S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. RJ-45 compatibility ensures easy integration with standard network equipment without the need for special adapters. The 10 m length balances reach and signal quality for typical rack-to-rack or room-to-room connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed 40GBase-T Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Connections between switches, routers and high-performance network devices
• Workstation connections requiring minimal latency and high throughput
• Structured cabling where color-coded cables simplify management

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat8.1
• Supported data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Cabling technology: 40GBase-T
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Jacket color: red

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to corresponding Ethernet ports on switches, routers, network interface cards or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated and locking tabs engage to maintain stable connections. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and secure it with cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors. For optimal performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as unshielded power cables and large motors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short to medium-length high-bandwidth links where RJ-45 connectivity is required. For long runs beyond its rated length or for environments with extreme mechanical stress, consider appropriate infrastructure planning and additional protective measures.
