Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5525FSW.7,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5525FSW.7,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5 m networking cable is a shielded copper patch lead designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Compliant with Cat6a performance, the cable supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends terminate in gold-plated RJ-45 plugs for reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The 7.5 m black jacket offers a balance of reach and manageability for desktop, rack or office routing scenarios.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against near-end crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve electrical contact and wear resistance for frequent plugging cycles. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10G Ethernet links at typical installation distances and offers headroom for bandwidth-intensive applications. The 7.5 m length gives flexibility to connect devices across desks, workstations and network equipment without excess slack.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in home or office networks
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and servers in wiring closets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and large file transfers
• Environments where shielding is required to mitigate electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 7.5 m
• Cable colour: Black
• Conductor type: copper (stranded or solid depending on patch lead construction)

How to use

Route the cable between the two networked devices, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks; maintain a bend radius of at least four times the cable diameter. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the device port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. For installations near strong EMI sources, keep the cable routed away from mains power lines and motors when possible, or use cable management channels to separate different services. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected equipment after installation to confirm proper negotiation at the desired data rate.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded network environments; ensure connected patch panels and switches support 10G operation if planning to run at the maximum data rate. Regularly inspect connectors for physical damage and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
