Networking cable M-Cab EC020200306 RJ-45 Cat8.1 7.5 m Black

The M-Cab EC020200306 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 7.5 m black Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with the Cat8.1 standard, it supports rated data transfer performance appropriate for modern local area networks. The cable features RJ-45 connectors on both ends, S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated contacts for consistent electrical contact and reduced corrosion risk.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides a combination of high bandwidth capability and robust shielding. S/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and external interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance long-term contact reliability. The 7.5 m length offers flexible placement between network devices without excessive slack, and the black outer jacket delivers a discreet, professional appearance in server rooms, offices, and residential installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed connections between switches, routers, and servers within racks or cabinets
• Workstation to wall outlet links where low interference and high bandwidth are required
• Wired connections for data-intensive applications such as virtualization or local backups
• Structured cabling runs in small office and home office environments

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Standard: Cat8.1
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Contact finish: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Intended use: Ethernet networking

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your network device (switch, router, NIC or wall outlet) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure physical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For optimal signal integrity, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines over long distances.

Recommendations

For stable high-speed performance, use this Cat8.1 cable within typical in-building distances and pair it with compatible equipment rated for high-speed Ethernet. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and avoid excessive bending or pulling to maintain shielding and contact reliability.
