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

The EFB Elektronik EC020200167 RJ-45 Cat7 networking cable is a 2 m S/FTP patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It supports Cat7 performance with shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and uses gold-plated contacts on RJ-45 connectors for reliable signal transmission. The red jacket provides easy visual identification within structured cabling or desktop setups while delivering data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s for demanding network environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over short to medium distances. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs enhance conductivity and resist corrosion, ensuring stable connections and longevity. The 2 m length offers flexibility for connecting network devices in racks, workstations, or home offices without excess cable slack. A distinct red outer jacket aids quick identification and organized cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network interface cards in office or home networks
• High-speed Ethernet links for servers, NAS and workstations
• Patch panels and structured cabling within racks and cabinets
• Temporary setups where clear cable identification is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7 (Class F) performance suitable for high-frequency data transmission

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to confirm a secure connection. Use the cable to link network devices such as switches, routers, computers, or NAS units. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain near the connector ends; leave a small service loop if placing inside racks or along cable trays. Verify link lights on connected devices and run speed/diagnostic tests via your operating system or network equipment to confirm expected throughput.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as power lines, transformers, or large motors. Use cable ties or Velcro straps to secure the cable without over-tightening. For permanent installations in structured cabling, follow local standards for cable separation, bend radius, and labeling to maintain signal quality.
