Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5525FGE.25

The EFB Elektronik K5525FGE.25 is a 25 m Cat6a networking cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over longer runs. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors that include gold-plated contacts, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for modern Ethernet networks where stable, low-latency links are required. The yellow sheath improves visibility and cable management in equipment racks and installation environments.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to preserve throughput and reliability. The Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T compatibility enable sustained high-speed transmission for demanding network applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent electrical contact and reduced corrosion risk. The 25 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across larger rooms or between racks without relying on intermediate patch points.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and backbone connections
• Connecting switches, servers, NAS units, and workstations over moderate distances
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms, and data closets
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection, such as near power lines or densely cabled racks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 25 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Supported standard: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable between network devices while avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve performance. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding RJ-45 port until the locking tab clicks into place. For permanent installations, secure the cable along trays or cable management channels using straps or clips that do not compress the sheath. Test the completed link with a network tester or by verifying connectivity and throughput between endpoints.

Recommendations

For optimal results in high-speed environments, keep the S/FTP cable separated from strong electromagnetic sources and power cabling where possible. Use this Cat6a cable for backbone and uplink segments or any connection where 10GBase-T performance and improved shielding are required. When running long cable bundles, label both ends and document routes to simplify future maintenance.
