Networking cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.20BL RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.20BL RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Blue is a high-performance network patch cable designed for demanding Ethernet environments. Constructed to Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable supports 10GBase-T applications and data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s while minimizing crosstalk and external interference. With a 20 m length and blue jacket, it is intended for structured cabling, rack-to-equipment connections and professional office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around individual pairs and an overall shield improves signal integrity in environments with electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for stable long-term performance. The Cat6a specification provides headroom for 10GBase-T networking and supports high bandwidth applications. A 20 m length offers flexibility for connections across rooms or between racks without the need for additional couplers.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) links in offices and data centers
• Connections between switches, routers and servers
• Structured cabling in commercial or home network installations
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal stability

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (screened foil twisted pair)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Supported protocol: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Route the cable between devices avoiding sharp bends and tight loops to preserve internal pair geometry. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into compatible Ethernet ports until the latch clicks. For installations near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, orient the cable so shielding terminations on both ends are connected to grounded equipment or patch panels. Test the link with a network tester after installation to confirm proper termination and expected performance at 10GBase-T where applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Use shielded patch panels or connectors that maintain the cable's S/FTP continuity when terminating in racks or custom installations.
