Networking cable EFB Elektronik EC020200162 RJ-45 Cat7 0.15 m Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200162 RJ-45 Cat7 networking cable is a short patch cable measuring 0.15 m designed for high-speed data connections in compact setups. It features an S/FTP shielding structure to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and gold-plated contacts on both RJ-45 connectors to ensure reliable signal transmission. Rated for Cat7 performance, this red cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for short link connections between devices within a rack, patch panel or desktop environment.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity in dense wiring environments. The gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability for frequent plug cycles. Its very short 0.15 m length minimises cable clutter and signal attenuation for short point-to-point connections, while the distinct red colour simplifies visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch ports and servers or network devices
• Connections inside server racks and between patch panels
• Desktop or console connections where minimal cable length is required
• Environments requiring shielded cables to reduce EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7 performance
• Length: 0.15 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 connectors to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring a secure latch click at both ends. Use this short cable for direct device-to-device links or to connect adjacent ports within a rack or patch panel where long cable runs are unnecessary. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and ensure the cable is not kinked or compressed under heavy equipment to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for short-distance, high-speed links and pair it with compatible Cat7-rated patch panels and switches. Keep the cable away from unshielded power lines and large sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal quality. Regularly inspect connector contacts for contamination and replace the cable if mechanical damage or connector wear is observed.
