Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200119 0.5m Cat7 S/FTP Grey

The EFB Elektronik EC020200119 0.5m Cat7 S/FTP Grey is a short networking patch cable designed for high-speed data links in home and professional network environments. Compliant with Cat7 performance levels, the cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors plated in gold to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. With a compact 0.5 m length and neutral grey jacket, the cable is suited for tidy connections between switches, patch panels, routers and devices in dense or visible cabling areas.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference compared to unshielded alternatives, which helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer consistent conductivity and longer lifespan under repeated plug cycles. The Cat7 specification supports high data rates and robust performance for demanding applications. The short 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and signal attenuation in patching scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short patching between switch and patch panel
• Connecting network devices in rack or desktop setups
• High-bandwidth connections for NAS, servers or workstations
• Shielded environments where EMI reduction is needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7 performance
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil-screened pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Grey
• Maximum data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, ensuring a firm click confirms the connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to create short, direct links in patch panels, switches, routers or between devices in close proximity. Avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and keep the cable away from strong sources of magnetic interference where possible. For rack installations, route the cable along existing cable management paths to maintain airflow and organization.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat7 S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded network setups and pair it with compatible shielded connectors and patch panels. Regularly inspect connector contacts for dirt or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show significant wear.
