Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200057 20m Cat6a S/FTP Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200057 20m Cat6a S/FTP Red networking cable provides a high-performance wired connection for network devices. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated for reliable signal transmission, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s over a 20 meter length. The red jacket improves cable identification and helps maintain organized cabling runs in data closets, offices, and home networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or nearby electronic equipment. The Cat6a specification ensures support for higher bandwidths and longer distances at 10 Gigabit speeds compared with lower categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and stable contact for consistent network performance. The 20 m length covers extended runs without the need for intermediate patching, and the colored jacket simplifies visual management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, servers, and high-performance workstations
• Structured cabling in server rooms, data centers, and office networks
• Home networks requiring high throughput for streaming, gaming, and large file transfers
• Temporary or permanent cabling where clear color coding is required for identification

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 20 m
• Color: red

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 connector to the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, or computers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain separation from power lines where possible to reduce potential interference despite the shielding. For structured installations, terminate the cable at patch panels or wall jacks following standard cabling practices.

Recommendations

For best results, test the link with a network cable tester or certification tool after installation to verify performance at Cat6a standards. Avoid kinking the cable and keep bend radius within manufacturer guidelines; when used in environments with high electromagnetic noise, ensure proper grounding of shielded components.
