Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5517.25 RJ-45 Cat6 25 m Brown

The EFB Elektronik K5517.25 is a 25 m Cat6 networking cable with S/FTP shielding and molded RJ-45 connectors. Designed for structured cabling, the patch cord supports Gigabit Ethernet and higher data rates up to 5000 Mbit/s when used within system limits. The cable features a 4 x 2 AWG27/7 pair construction with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) shielding and an overall braid, delivered in brown colour and finished with a moulded strain relief that includes latch protection.

Advantages

This Cat6 patch cord provides S/FTP shielding (pair foil with overall braid) to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. It meets common safety and performance standards including IEC 60603-7-5 for shielded RJ45 plugs, TIA/EIA-568B wiring, and flame retardant and low smoke/halogen-free requirements (IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034, IEC 60754-2). The moulded strain relief reduces connector stress and the shielded plugs ensure reliable contact in shielded network environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network devices in office or home LANs
• High-speed Gigabit Ethernet and PoE applications
• Shielded network environments requiring reduced EMI and crosstalk

How to use

Route the 25 m cable between network devices, taking care to avoid tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding shielded ports on switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure the device ports and cable shield are properly connected to ground when used in shielded installations to maintain EMI protection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within standard maximum lengths for Ethernet applications and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power cables. Use in environments that require shielded cabling to reduce interference; verify grounding of shielded components during installation.
