Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8104GE.20 RJ-45 Cat6 20 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8104GE.20 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 20 m yellow U/UTP cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed Ethernet connections. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts, supporting data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and meeting Cat6 performance requirements for reliable signal transmission over mid-range runs.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable offers U/UTP construction that balances performance and cost for typical office and home network installations. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve corrosion resistance and maintain consistent contact quality. The 20 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between racks without intermediate patch panels, and the yellow jacket enables easy visual identification within cable bundles or patching fields.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktops, switches and routers
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Connecting network-enabled AV equipment and IP cameras
• Temporary event wiring and test setups requiring visible cable identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded overall, unshielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Maximum data rate (manufacturer specification): up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring the RJ-45 plugs are fully inserted into the respective Ethernet ports until a click is felt. Avoid tight bends and kinks; maintain a minimum bend radius approximately four times the cable diameter to preserve signal integrity. Keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as power transformers and high-current cabling to reduce potential interference. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories rather than stapling through the jacket.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6 U/UTP cable for horizontal runs up to 20 m where Cat6 performance is required. For environments with high electromagnetic interference or in industrial settings, consider shielded cabling or alternative routing. Test installed links with a network cable tester to verify continuity and performance before commissioning.
