Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8100MA.20 RJ-45 Cat6 20 m Magenta

The EFB Elektronik K8100MA.20 is a magenta networking cable designed for structured cabling and device connections. It is a 20 m Cat6 U/UTP cable terminated with RJ-45 connectors that feature gold plating to ensure reliable electrical contact. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and is intended for Ethernet and network equipment connections where a flexible, shield-free Cat6 solution is appropriate.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6 construction provides performance suitable for faster Ethernet links while maintaining compatibility with standard RJ-45 ports. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors help reduce contact resistance and resist corrosion for consistent signal transmission. The 20 m length allows longer runs without intermediate patching, and the magenta colour makes the cable easy to identify within a bundle or rack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network devices within offices or data closets
• Wiring workstations, printers and VoIP phones to network outlets
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a visible cable colour is needed for identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Magenta
• Data transfer rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on your devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and strain; allow some slack near connectors to prevent stress. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as mains power cables and large motors.

Recommendations

Use the cable for Ethernet connections within the intended 20 m run and replace if the connector latch or cable jacket is damaged. For installations that require shielded cabling or where guaranteed higher performance beyond Cat6 is necessary, consider a different cable category or shielded variant. Label both ends when deploying multiple magenta cables to simplify future maintenance.
