Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5516.20 RJ-45 Cat6 20m Orange

1 Gigabit Ethernet Cat.6 250 MHz patch cable with shielded RJ45 plugs and LSZH outer jacket, suitable for high-speed network connections. The cable uses S/FTP construction with four screened pairs (4 x 2 x AWG27/7 PiMF) and complies with TIA/EIA 568B wiring. It provides flame retardant, low-smoke and halogen-free properties for safer installations and includes moulded strain relief boots with latch protection.

Advantages

The Cat.6 cable supports Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 250 MHz and features shielded 2 x RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-5) to reduce electromagnetic interference. LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) sheath improves safety in confined spaces, while flame retardant and standardized smoke/halogen ratings (IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034, IEC 60754-2) ensure compliance with common building requirements. Moulded strain relief boots protect connector latches and increase durability during installation and use.

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding network ports on your devices or patch panels following TIA/EIA 568B wiring. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal signal quality. The moulded strain relief boots protect the connector during insertion and removal; ensure the latch snaps fully into place to secure the connection.

Recommendations

Use this Cat.6 S/FTP LSZH patch cable for Gigabit Ethernet links in office or data center environments where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. For best performance, maintain proper bend radius and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines.
