Networking cable M-Cab EC020200318 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m White

The M-Cab EC020200318 RJ-45 Cat8.1 10 m White networking cable is a high-performance Ethernet lead designed for demanding wired networks. Compliant with Cat8.1 specifications, it offers transmission capacity suitable for very high data rates and low-latency connections. The cable is constructed with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity over its 10 meter length, presented in a white outer sheath for a discrete installation.

Advantages

Built to Cat8.1 standards, the cable supports high bandwidth and improved near-end crosstalk protection compared with lower category cables. The S/FTP shielding provides individual pair foil plus an overall braid to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve data throughput in environments with multiple active lines or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and resist corrosion, while the 10 m length allows flexible placement of devices without intermediate repeaters or adapters.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections in server rooms and data centres
• Point-to-point links between switches, routers and high-performance devices
• Workstations requiring low-latency, high-bandwidth wired connections
• Environments with multiple electronic devices where shielding is important

Key specifications

• Category: Cat8.1
• Length: 10 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil pairs + overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact finish: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White
• Suitable for high-bandwidth Ethernet applications (up to 40 Gbit/s class performance)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network interface of your switch, router or network card and the other end to the corresponding device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and run it away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise whenever possible. For installations in rack environments, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors and maintain bend radius requirements.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable for short to medium runs up to its 10 m length and verify both endpoints support the required Ethernet speeds. Avoid sharp kinks and prolonged compression; maintain manufacturer-recommended bend radius and secure connectors in place to prevent intermittent contact.
