Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5512.50 RJ-45 Cat6 50 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K5512.50 RJ-45 Cat6 50 m Red is a structured networking cable designed for wired Ethernet installations where consistent performance and signal integrity are required. Compliant with Cat6 specifications and equipped with S/FTP shielding, the cable supports high data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and reduces external electromagnetic interference. The integrated RJ-45 connectors feature gold plating to improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the 50 m length and red jacket make it suitable for visible routing or color-coded network runs.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding (overall foil plus individually shielded pairs) provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise, improving throughput stability in dense cable environments. Cat6 performance enables operation at higher frequencies than Cat5e, supporting faster data transmission and lower error rates. The RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts offer dependable connectivity and longer contact life. The red outer jacket assists with cable identification and organization in racks or structured cabling installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• LAN connections between switches, routers and endpoints in office or home networks
• Structured cabling runs where Cat6 performance is required
• Temporary or permanent installations that need color-coded cabling
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where S/FTP shielding is beneficial

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and follow standard cable management practices when routing through racks, conduits, or along walls. Insert the RJ-45 connector into compatible Ethernet ports until it clicks into place. For optimal signal performance, avoid sharp bends and keep runs within recommended lengths for your network topology. If connecting multiple segments, use switches or patch panels designed for Cat6 cabling to maintain system performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, pair the cable with Cat6-compliant network equipment and maintain separation from large power sources or fluorescent lighting to minimize interference. Label both ends of the red cable for easier maintenance and consider using cable ties or trays to secure the run and prevent strain on connectors.
