Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200071 20m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The EFB Elektronik EC020200071 20m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow networking cable provides a long, shielded connection for high-speed Ethernet links. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP (shielded foil over each pair plus overall braided shield), the cable supports up to 10000 Mbit/s data transfer and is terminated with RJ-45 plugs featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The high-visibility yellow jacket simplifies cable identification in server rooms, offices, and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable delivers enhanced performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduces electromagnetic interference thanks to pair-level foil shielding and an overall braid. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and lower contact resistance over time. The 20 m length covers longer runs without additional patching, while the yellow outer sheath improves visual management and rapid fault isolation in dense cable environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• High-performance office networks and workstations
• Structured cabling paths requiring shielded cables to minimise EMI
• Longer horizontal runs and patching between switches and racks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around each pair + overall braided shield)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable along existing cable trays or within structured cabling conduits, avoiding tight bends and mechanical strain. Insert RJ-45 connectors into compatible network ports until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. For best performance, maintain proper separation from high-voltage power lines and avoid kinking the cable. When cutting to length is required, use certified termination tools and follow Cat6a installation practices to preserve shielding continuity.

Recommendations

For optimal results in shielded environments, terminate both ends with compatible shielded RJ-45 ports or patch panels and ensure the braided shield is properly grounded. Regularly inspect connectors and jacket integrity, and replace the cable if visible damage or signal degradation is observed.
