Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5525FWS.0,15 — Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP), RJ-45 to RJ-45, 0.5 m, white

EFB Elektronik K5525FWS.0,15 is a 0.5 m Cat7 networking cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and gold-plated RJ‑45 connectors at both ends. Designed for short-distance connections in server racks, patch panels and between network devices, this cable supports high-speed Ethernet transmission and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference. The TPE outer sheath provides high flexibility for easy routing in confined spaces, while the slim moulded grommet facilitates insertion where space is limited.

Advantages

The cable offers S/FTP (S-STP) shielding for individual pair protection plus an overall foil shield, enhancing protection against crosstalk and external interference for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance. Gold-plated contacts ensure stable contact resistance and corrosion resistance. The flexible TPE outer sheath and superflex construction make handling and installation easier in tight cable ducts or patch panels. A clear length imprint on the boot helps with quick identification during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and data cabinets
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch links within the same equipment rack
• Direct device-to-device connections where space is limited
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet segments and high-speed LAN backbones over short distances

Key specifications

• Category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil + overall foil)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: 4 x 2 x AWG26 / 7
• Outer sheath: TPE, superflex
• Colour: White
• Moulded slim grommet for easier insertion

How to use

Connect the RJ‑45 male plugs to the corresponding RJ‑45 ports on network devices, switches or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve proper contact; the slim moulded boots help when inserting into closely spaced ports. For optimal performance, avoid excessive bending radii and do not stretch the cable. Use the length imprint on the boot for quick identification during installation and documentation.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat7 S/FTP patch cable for short, high-speed links where shielding and flexibility are required. Keep cable runs short for guaranteed 10 Gigabit performance, maintain gentle bend radii, and route separately from high-power electrical lines to minimize interference. Regularly inspect connector contacts for debris and ensure reliable grounding of the network infrastructure when using shielded cabling.
