Networking cable EFB Elektronik EC020200164 RJ-45 Cat7 0.5 m Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200164 RJ-45 Cat7 0.5 m Red networking cable is a short, high-performance patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and professional networks. This Cat7 cable provides S/FTP shielding to limit electromagnetic interference and cross-talk, and it uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain stable signal transmission. With support for data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, the cable is suitable where compact, high-speed connections are required and its red jacket makes ports and runs easy to identify.

Advantages

The cablefeatures S/FTP shielding around pairs and overall braid to reduce external interference and improve signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts protect against corrosion and ensure consistent electrical contact. At 0.5 m length, it minimizes excess cable in tight setups while providing the full bandwidth capabilities of Cat7 specification. The red PVC jacket offers visible color-coding for network management and quick identification of connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in patch panels, switches, and routers in racks or desktop setups
• Short runs between devices in server rooms, network cabinets, and home offices
• High-speed data transfer tasks such as NAS access, media streaming, and link aggregation
• Environments where shielded cabling is needed to reduce interference from adjacent equipment

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7 performance class supporting up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m (short patch cable)
• Colour: Red jacket for visual identification

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices, such as switches, routers, computers, or NAS units. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks to establish a stable connection. Use the 0.5 m length for patching inside racks, between adjacent ports, or when minimizing cable slack on desks and shelves. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if the contact plating or jacket is compromised.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic noise. Use color-coded cables like this red Cat7 when organizing multiple connections to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
