Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200167 RJ-45 Cat7 2 m Red

The EFB Elektronik EC020200167 RJ-45 Cat7 2 m Red networking cable is a 2-meter, high-performance Ethernet cable designed for wired network connections that require high bandwidth and reduced interference. Supporting Cat7 specifications, it enables data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and includes RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable conductivity and resist corrosion. The S/FTP shielding (shielded foil twisted pair with overall braid) minimizes electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, making the cable suitable for demanding network environments where signal integrity is important. The red jacket provides a visible cable path for organized installations.

Advantages

The cable's Cat7 specification ensures support for very high-speed data transmission and improved performance compared to earlier categories. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer stable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use. S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, which helps maintain consistent throughput in congested or electrically noisy environments. With a 2 m length and flexible jacket, the cable is convenient for connecting devices within racks, workstations, or home networking setups while the colored outer sheath aids in quick identification.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels in local area networks
• High-speed connections between NAS units, servers, and workstations
• Home and office network setups requiring reduced interference
• Visible cable routing where color-coding helps cable management

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7, suitable for high-bandwidth Ethernet applications
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually shielded pairs with overall braid)
• Outer colour: red

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, such as a router, switch, NAS, or computer. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical stress; keep it separated from high-voltage power lines where possible to further reduce interference. For rack or multi-cable installations, use cable organizers or color-coded pathways to maintain clarity and accessibility.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, pair this Cat7 S/FTP cable with compatible network equipment that supports Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Avoid sharp bends and do not exceed the recommended installation strain; when using in mixed-category environments, verify connector and switch port capabilities to ensure optimal throughput.
