Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8706.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8706.20 RJ-45 Cat5e 20 m networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Built to Cat5e specification, the cable supports high-speed data transfer and stable signal transmission over a 20-meter run. It uses standard RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and S/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable’s green jacket provides clear visual identification within cabling bundles or patch panels.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable offers up to 2500 Mbit/s effective data throughput for typical network applications and maintains consistent signal integrity thanks to its S/UTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of devices without adding intermediate switches or extenders. The green outer jacket simplifies cable management and identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and networked peripherals to a switch or router
• Home and small office wired Ethernet installations
• Patch panel and rack-mounted network setups where color coding aids organization
• Temporary or permanent cabling runs up to 20 metres

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Maximum rated transfer: up to 2500 Mbit/s (typical performance for Cat5e applications)
• Length: 20 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (screened overall with twisted pairs)
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Outer jacket colour: green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the Ethernet port of your device and the other end to a router, switch or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and keep distance from high-power electrical lines to minimize interference. For best performance, verify that both connected devices support the intended network speeds and that network equipment settings match the cable’s capabilities.

Recommendations

For organized installations, use the green cable to mark specific circuits or device groups within racks and outlets. If running the cable through ceilings or conduits, check local fire and building codes for plenum or in-wall requirements and use appropriate cable types where required. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if shielding or insulation is compromised.
