Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8094.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8094.20 is a 20 m Cat5e U/UTP networking cable with RJ-45 plugs on both ends. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) data transmission, features copper-plated contacts and a PVC jacket with flame-retardant properties according to IEC 60332-1. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded and has a 5.4 mm diameter.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable provides gigabit-capable performance over a 20-meter length, with unshielded U/UTP construction and AWG24/7 conductor strands for stable connectivity. Molded strain relief on the RJ-45 plugs reduces cable stress at the connectors, and the blue PVC jacket offers standard insulation and easy identification in installations.

Suitable for

• Wired LAN connections for home and small office networks
• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and patch panels
• Structured cabling segments using TIA/EIA 568B pinout

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Connectors: 2 × RJ-45 (IEC 60603-7)
• Cabling: U/UTP, 4 × 2 × AWG24/7
• Diameter: Ø = 5.4 mm
• Standards: Cat5e, 10/100/1000Base-T(X), TIA/EIA 568B
• Safety: Flame retardant IEC 60332-1
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as computers, switches or routers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running it alongside high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For structured installations, use the TIA/EIA 568B wiring scheme when terminating patch panels or keystone jacks.

Recommendations

For reliable gigabit performance, keep individual cable runs within recommended lengths and avoid physical damage. Use cable management to prevent excessive bending near the molded strain relief and maintain separation from power cables to reduce crosstalk and noise.
