Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200244 RJ-45 Cat8.1 0.25m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik EC020200244 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a short, high-performance patch cable designed for reliable connections in dense cabling environments. At 0.25 m length and constructed to Cat8.1 category specifications, this cable supports very high data rates suitable for modern switches, servers and network appliances. The cable features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 terminations for improved signal integrity and corrosion resistance, while the yellow jacket provides visual identification and easier cable management.

Advantages

Built to Cat8.1 performance, the cable enables data transmission at extremely high speeds and supports advanced networking demands. S/FTP shielding reduces interference from adjacent cables and external electromagnetic sources, maintaining stable connections in crowded racks and cabling ducts. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time. The short 0.25 m length minimizes excess slack and is suitable for patching in compact installations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports and server NICs in server rooms and data centers
• High-speed network links in rack-mounted environments where short runs are needed
• Connections in wiring cabinets, patch panels and top-of-rack switch setups
• Situations where color-coded cabling improves identification and management

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1 performance
• Length: 0.25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Conductor plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Yellow
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until the latch clicks, ensuring secure physical contact. Use the cable for short patch connections between network equipment such as switches, routers and servers where a 0.25 m length is appropriate. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boot and do not apply excessive tension to the cable. When routing through racks or panels, allow gentle curves and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 cable for short, high-speed interconnects in rack environments and avoid running it parallel to high-power electrical lines. Inspect connector contacts periodically and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of damage.
