Networking Cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.25R RJ-45 Cat6a 25 m Red

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.25R RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 25 m red Ethernet lead engineered for 10GBase-T environments. It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 terminations on both ends. The cable incorporates S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable connectivity and low contact resistance. Its 25 metre length and visible red jacket make it suitable for both structured cabling installations and visible patching runs.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over a 25 m run while the S/FTP construction offers effective protection against near-end crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal integrity and durability at connection points. The red outer jacket facilitates easy identification in cable bundles or data centre racks. The cable is designed to meet the electrical performance expected from Cat6a cabling, allowing higher bandwidth applications while preserving a compact, flexible form factor.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T connections between switches, servers and network appliances
• Office and data centre patching where 25 m length is required
• Structured cabling runs that need S/FTP shielding to reduce interference
• Visible cable runs where colour coding simplifies identification

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, ensuring the RJ-45 plugs are fully inserted into compatible ports until they click. Avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force that could damage the internal pairs or shielding; maintain bend radii consistent with network cabling best practices. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate fasteners and avoid running alongside high-voltage power lines to minimise potential interference. Test the link with a network tester after installation to verify performance and proper pair termination.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, keep total channel length within recommended limits for Cat6a deployments and use certified patch panels and jacks. When installing in environments with high electromagnetic noise, verify shield continuity and ensure connectors and chassis are properly grounded.
