Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.25 Red 25m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.25 Red 25m Cat6a S/FTP is a 25-metre high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding wired Ethernet environments. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. The S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair with overall braid) construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while RJ-45 connectors with gold plating provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The red jacket makes cable identification simple in dense installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides enhanced signal integrity and stable throughput for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. The shielding architecture minimizes external noise and protects adjacent pairs, improving performance in server rooms, data centers and structured cabling systems. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer better conductivity and longer lifespan compared with unplated contacts. A 25 m length covers typical distances between racks, patch panels and workstations while retaining rated performance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data centers
• Structured cabling between patch panels, switches and workstations
• High-density rack and server installations where interference reduction is required
• Audio/video streaming and large file transfers over wired networks

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil-shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: red outer jacket

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router or network interface card and the other connector to the device or patch panel you intend to link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and maintain a bending radius consistent with structured cabling best practices to preserve signal quality. When routing through cable trays or conduits, keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in environments that require 10 Gigabit throughput or where electromagnetic interference may affect unshielded cabling. When installing in high-density areas, label both ends and use cable management accessories to prevent stress on connectors. If the cable is to be run alongside mains wiring, increase separation distance or use separate conduits to reduce potential noise coupling.
