Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200072 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The EFB Elektronik EC020200072 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow networking cable is a shielded twisted-pair patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. With a 25 meter length and S/FTP (shielded overall pair with foil-wrapped individual pairs) construction, the cable provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while maintaining support for high data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure reliable connections and low contact resistance. The bright yellow jacket aids cable identification in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable combines a long 25 m reach with enhanced shielding to support 10 Gbps Ethernet performance in environments where interference or cable density could affect signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the flexible outer jacket allows for routing in cable trays and conduits. The yellow colour simplifies visual management and identification within network installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections up to 10 Gbps
• Data centers and server rooms with dense cable layouts
• Office network patching and structured cabling
• Workstations, switches and network equipment interconnects
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding tight radii to maintain signal performance. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until it clicks to establish a secure connection. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, secure the cable along cable trays or with suitable cable ties, taking care not to compress or kink the cable. Verify link speed and connectivity using network equipment LEDs or diagnostic tools after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbps performance, minimize exposure to strong sources of electromagnetic interference, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines, and maintain industry-recommended bend radius. Use shielded patch panels and properly grounded components when integrating S/FTP cables into existing installations to preserve shielding effectiveness.
