Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.20 RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.20 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 20 m red S/FTP cable designed for environments that require high-speed, reliable wired connections. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, this cable supports up to 10,000 Mbit/s data transfer and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved contact quality. The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping maintain stable throughput across longer runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, which is important for maintaining signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure low contact resistance and greater corrosion resistance compared with unplated connectors. The 20 m length covers medium to long cable runs without relying on additional patch panels or extenders. The red jacket offers easy visual identification in multi-cable installations and can assist with organized cable management.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between network switches and wall ports in offices and data closets
• Connecting servers, NAS devices, and workstations requiring 10 Gbps-capable links
• Cable runs in server rooms and structured cabling systems where shielding is necessary
• Temporary or permanent installations where color-coded cabling simplifies maintenance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Jacket color: Red

How to use

Route the cable between devices, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to prevent damage to the internal pairs and shielding. Insert the RJ-45 connector into the network ports until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electrical interference sources such as unshielded power lines and large motors. If terminating or re-terminating the cable, use appropriate tools and follow Cat6a termination practices to preserve shielding and pair integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, use the cable within recommended length constraints for Cat6a installations and ensure connectors and patch panels are rated for Cat6a. When deploying in environments with significant electromagnetic interference, maintain proper grounding of the shielding and separate power and data cabling where possible.
