Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8099.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Orange

The EFB Elektronik K8099.20 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 20 m orange U/UTP cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts and supports data transmission rates up to 2500 Mbit/s. The cable follows Cat5e specifications to deliver reliable performance for local area networks, desktop connections, switches and patch panels where a flexible, visible cable run is required.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers a combination of length and visibility in a durable orange jacket that simplifies cable routing and identification. U/UTP construction provides standard unshielded twisted pair performance suitable for many office and home network environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability, while the 20 m length reduces the need for intermediate patch points in medium-sized setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, routers, switches and network-enabled devices within offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in small to medium installations
• Temporary or semi-permanent cable runs where high visibility is desirable
• Data transfer and VoIP connections up to Cat5e performance levels

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Length: 20 m
• Construction: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it between devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks. Verify link status on connected devices and, if necessary, test throughput with network diagnostic tools. For wall or rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep run lengths within recommended limits for Cat5e installations, separate the cable from high-voltage power lines, and avoid kinking or tightly winding the cable. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if contact corrosion or physical degradation is observed.
