Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8014.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8014.20 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 20 m blue patch cable designed for wired Ethernet connections in home and office networks. This Cat5e cable uses SF/UTP shielding, RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s, providing reliable signal transmission for common network applications over a longer run.

Advantages

The SF/UTP shielding minimises external electromagnetic interference while maintaining flexibility for installation. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure corrosion resistance and consistent contact quality. The 20 m length reduces the need for additional patch panels or switches between devices and the blue jacket provides clear visual identification in cable bundles. The cable is built to industry Cat5e electrical characteristics suitable for standard Ethernet services.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between routers, switches, and networked devices
• Home networking setups including desktop PCs, smart TVs and gaming consoles
• Office workstations and small to medium local area networks
• Patch cabling in structured cabling runs where 20 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat5e
• Length: 20 m
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foiled braid overall with unshielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Nominal data transfer capability: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Outer colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your source device (router, switch or modem) and the other connector to the destination device (PC, NAS, printer or other networked hardware). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable avoiding tight bends or kinks. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable ties or clips while keeping it away from high-power electrical wiring to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat5e cable within its rated length and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power cables. If used in environments with high EMI, verify grounding of network equipment and consider shielded terminations or upgrading to higher category cabling where faster bandwidth or future-proofing is required.
