Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200043 25m Cat6a S/FTP Black

The EFB Elektronik EC020200043 25m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable in black is designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. This cable meets Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and it comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. With support for data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, it is suitable for modern wired networks requiring stable gigabit and multi-gigabit performance over longer runs.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic disturbances, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The Cat6a specification ensures support for higher frequencies and bandwidth compared with lower category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors reduce contact resistance and improve long-term connectivity. A 25-meter length allows flexible placement of devices while maintaining performance for backbone or device-to-switch connections. The black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for visible runs.

Suitable for

• Wired gigabit and multi-gigabit Ethernet connections in homes and offices
• Connection between switches, routers, patch panels, and networked devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is required
• Longer cable runs where 25 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented performance for higher frequency)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall screen with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 25 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Install the cable by seating each RJ-45 connector into the appropriate Ethernet port on devices such as switches, routers, computers, or patch panels until the retaining clip clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges, or excessive tension to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For installations passing through metallic conduits or near power lines, maintain separation distances and follow local cabling standards to minimize interference and ensure safety. Terminate and test connections after installation using a cable tester to verify continuity, pairing, and performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid kinking the cable and respect the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius. Use shielded connectors and properly grounded equipment when deploying S/FTP cable in environments with strong electromagnetic noise. Test the installed link to confirm support for the required network speed and replace damaged cables to maintain reliable connections.
