Networking cable EFB Elektronik EC020200274 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m Green

The EFB Elektronik EC020200274 RJ-45 Cat8.1 networking cable is a 10 m green cable designed for high-speed wired connections in home, office, and data centre environments. It uses Cat8.1 specification with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors to support very high bandwidth applications and ensure reliable signal transmission over short-to-moderate distances. Gold-plated contacts are included to maintain stable electrical connection and resist corrosion, while the durable jacket provides mechanical protection and a clear visual identifier with its green colour.

Advantages

This Cat8.1 cable provides transmission rates up to 40000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. RJ-45 connectors on both ends make it compatible with standard Ethernet ports, and gold-plated contacts improve contact quality and long-term reliability. The 10 m length balances flexibility and reach for many installation scenarios, and the green jacket allows easy cable identification in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links between network switches, routers and servers
• Structured cabling in small server rooms and home labs
• Backbone connections where shielded cable is required to control interference
• Workstation-to-switch connections requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth links

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Cable length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 40000 Mbit/s
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other to a compatible switch, router or patch panel. Ensure both devices support the desired link speed and that connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running it in parallel with high-power electrical lines to minimise potential interference. For installations in racks or conduit, allow appropriate slack and use cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat8.1 S/FTP cable for short-range high-bandwidth connections (typical for server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links) and verify device compatibility for 40 Gbit/s operation. Maintain bend radius as specified by industry guidelines and keep cable runs within recommended length limits for the application.
