Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8104RT.1,5 RJ-45 Cat6 1.5m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8104RT.1,5 is a 1.5 m red networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and Cat6 specification. Constructed with U/UTP shielding and gold-plated contacts, this cable is designed to provide stable copper-based Ethernet connections for home and office networks. It supports high data transfer rates and is suitable for connecting computers, switches, routers and other Ethernet-enabled devices where a short, visible cable run is required.

Advantages

The Cat6 construction offers improved performance over older cable categories for gigabit and near-gigabit networks. U/UTP shielding helps reduce interference from adjacent cables and local electromagnetic sources, contributing to consistent signal quality. Gold-plated contacts enhance corrosion resistance and maintain reliable contact with RJ-45 ports. The 1.5 m length provides a compact connection option while the red jacket improves visibility for cable management and identification.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs and laptops to switches or routers
• Short patch runs in server cabinets or wall-mounted network panels
• Home networks, office workstations and multimedia streaming setups
• Visible cable runs where color-coding simplifies identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall braid/shield as applicable)
• Data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s (manufacturer-stated)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into a compatible port on a router, switch or modem. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep it away from high-power electrical lines to minimise potential interference. For best performance, use within the specified length and in standard structured cabling environments.

Recommendations

Use the red cable for visible runs or for color-coded installations to simplify troubleshooting. For environments with high electromagnetic interference or longer runs, consider alternate shielded categories or cable lengths appropriate for the installation. Regularly inspect connectors for dirt or damage and replace the cable if contacts become corroded or the jacket is compromised.
