Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8100GE.20 RJ-45 Cat6 20m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8100GE.20 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 20 m U/UTP cable designed for wired Ethernet installations. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and reduce contact corrosion. Constructed to the Cat6 standard, the cable supports high-speed data transfer and is supplied in a yellow jacket for easy identification in patch panels and cable routes.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides a balance of signal integrity and practical handling. The U/UTP design reduces external electromagnetic interference, while the gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer stable contact resistance over repeated insertions. A 20 m length covers typical runs between network equipment and wall outlets or patch panels, and the yellow colour improves visual management in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Wiring between switches, routers and patch panels in offices or server rooms
• High-speed Ethernet connections for desktops, NAS devices and media players
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 20 m run is required
• Environments where cable identification by colour improves maintenance

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Standard: Cat6
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded)
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Colour: Yellow
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s

How to use

Route the cable between the two network endpoints avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ-45 plugs into corresponding Ethernet ports until the connector latches. For best performance, ensure terminations and ports conform to Cat6 wiring standards and avoid excessive pulling force during installation. Test the connection speed and link status with a network tester or the connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, keep the cable away from power lines and large electrical equipment. Use cable ties or routing channels to secure the run without compressing the cable, and label both ends if used in multi-cable installations to simplify future maintenance.
