EFB-Elektronik EC020200256 Cat 8.1 Patch Cable 0.5 m Grey

Cat 8.1 · 40 Gbps2000 MHzS/FTP PiMFLSZH0.5 m

The EFB-Elektronik EC020200256 is a 0.5 m Cat 8.1 S/FTP patch cable in grey for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T links in data centres and server racks. Part number EC020200256 is built on Cat 8.1 raw cable (4 × 2 AWG 26/7 stranded copper, pairs in metal foil under an overall braid) with a 6.2 mm LSZH jacket, and has shielded RJ45 plugs with 50 µ-inch gold contacts, a locking lever and a length imprint. EFB tests each cable individually on a Fluke analyser and includes the report. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.

Compatibility note: Cat 8.1 is specified for short channels of up to 30 m with two connectors, which is exactly how a 0.5 m rack jumper is used. To actually run at 25 or 40 Gbps both ports must support 25GBASE-T/40GBASE-T; on 1/10 GbE equipment the cable simply works at the port speed. EFB states PoE support but publishes no IEEE 802.3bt class.

Key Features

 
2000 MHz, up to 40 Gbps
Cat 8.1 (Class I) performance for 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T top-of-rack connections, with generous headroom for 10 GbE.
 
Fully shielded S/FTP PiMF
Metal foil on every pair plus an overall braid and shielded plugs keep crosstalk and EMI to a minimum in dense cabinets.
 
Fluke-tested with locking lever
Each cable is measured individually with the report in the box; the locking lever and length imprint make rack work faster and safer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the EFB EC020200256 work with 10 GbE switches?
Yes. Cat 8.1 cables are backward compatible with every RJ45 Ethernet port, so the EC020200256 runs at 1, 2.5, 5 or 10 GbE on existing hardware and at 25/40 Gbps where both ports support it.
Is a 0.5 m Cat 8.1 cable suitable for connecting servers in the same rack?
Yes. Cat 8.1 is designed for short data-centre channels up to 30 m, and 0.5 m is ideal for server-to-switch or switch-to-panel jumpers within one cabinet.
Singular Expert Insight
Cat 8.1 makes sense where you are building for 25/40GBASE-T or want the maximum shielding margin for 10 GbE in a crowded rack. For typical 10 GbE office links a Cat 6A lead is cheaper and thinner. EFB's EC020200 Cat 8.1 range adds individual Fluke reports and a locking lever — useful when connecting switches to 10/25 GbE network cards.

Buyer's Guide

Buy it if
You patch 25/40GBASE-T or high-density 10 GbE equipment and want Fluke-tested, locking-lever cables.
Skip it if
Your network is 1 GbE or standard 10 GbE over short office runs — Cat 6A is cheaper and slimmer.
