Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200015 50m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The EFB Elektronik EC020200015 50m Cat6a S/FTP Grey networking cable is designed for high-speed wired connections in structured cabling and point-to-point links. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for environments that require reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for office, server room, or home network installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines braided overall shielding with individually shielded pairs to minimize crosstalk and external EMI, improving performance at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over appropriate distances, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer improved contact reliability and corrosion resistance. A 50 m cable length reduces the need for couplers or intermediate patch panels in medium-sized installations and simplifies cable routing in racks and ceilings.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center environments
• High-bandwidth workstation links and uplinks between switches
• Audio/video streaming and professional AV installations
• Structured cabling runs where EMI protection is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: Grey

How to use

Route the cable between network devices or through cable management systems, avoiding tight bends and physical strain on the connectors. Terminate each end into RJ-45 ports on switches, routers, network interface cards, or patch panels; ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. For best performance, keep the cable run within recommended distances for Cat6a installations and separate from strong electrical noise sources where possible.

Recommendations

To maintain optimal signal quality, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and maintain bend radii greater than four times the cable diameter. Inspect connectors for secure seating and replace any cable showing visible damage. Use appropriate cable management and labeling for long runs to simplify future maintenance.
