Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200011 15m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The EFB Elektronik EC020200011 15m Cat6a S/FTP Grey networking cable is designed for high-speed wired connections in home, office and data center environments. Built to the Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable supports high-bandwidth data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s and provides stable signal integrity over its 15 meter length. The grey jacket offers a neutral appearance for professional installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall braid plus individually shielded twisted pairs) reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving reliability in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance corrosion resistance and ensure consistent low-resistance connections. The Cat6a specification enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance where supported by network equipment, while the 15 m length gives flexibility for longer runs without intermediate patch points.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within offices and data closets
• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels across medium distances
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, video conferencing and file servers
• Structured cabling runs where shielded cables are required to limit interference

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device (switch, router, computer, patch panel) and the other connector to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends, kinks and exposure to strong electrical noise; maintain a minimum bend radius as recommended for Cat6a cabling. If routing through cable trays or conduit, allow sufficient slack and avoid sharp edges that could damage the cable jacket.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or noisy environments to maximise signal integrity. Pair with compatible shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment to ensure the shielding is effective. Test links after installation with appropriate network testers for channel performance and continuity.
