Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8701.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8701.20 RJ-45 Cat5e networking cable is a 20 m grey S/UTP cable designed for wired Ethernet connections. It meets Cat5e standard requirements and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and is intended for reliable network links between switches, routers, PCs and other Ethernet-enabled devices.

Advantages

The S/UTP construction provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity over the 20 m run. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure stable contact and reduced corrosion risk at connection points. The Cat5e specification delivers compatibility with a wide range of network equipment and supports typical home and office Ethernet applications. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers and workstations to switches or routers
• Linking network switches within the same room or rack
• Connecting printers, NAS devices or IP cameras to a local network
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs up to 20 m in offices and homes

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shielding with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Color: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on the switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as large power transformers or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

For consistent signal quality, route the cable with gentle curves, avoid stretching or compressing the jacket, and secure it with cable ties or clips without over-tightening. Use this Cat5e S/UTP cable for typical network speeds and short to medium runs; if you anticipate higher bandwidth needs or longer permanent runs, consider higher-category or different shielding options.
