Networking cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.20R RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Red

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.20R RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m Red is a 20 metre network cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a standards with S/FTP shielding and 10GBase-T compatibility, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable signal transmission and reduced contact corrosion. Its red jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels, server rooms, or structured cabling installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, maintaining signal integrity at higher frequencies and longer lengths. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10GBase-T networks and improved headroom compared to lower-category cables. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve durability and contact reliability. The 20 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across larger cabinets, between floors, or across rooms while the coloured jacket helps with cable management and quick identification.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices, data centers, and server rooms
• Structured cabling where clear colour coding is required
• Longer point-to-point links between network switches and patch panels
• High-bandwidth applications such as large file transfers and media streaming

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Protocol compatibility: 10GBase-T
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: Red

How to use

Route the cable between the two network endpoints, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges to preserve the integrity of the internal pairs and shielding. Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables for extended lengths and ensure secure strain relief at both ends to prevent connector damage. Test the link speed and verify 10GBase-T negotiation where supported by connected equipment.

Recommendations

For sustained 10 Gbit/s performance, use compliant network equipment and keep cable runs within recommended installation practices. Use the red jacket for organised cable management and label both ends if used in structured cabling installations.
