Networking cable Eigenbrand BS75515-M Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 5 m Red

Eigenbrand BS75515-M Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 5 m Red is a shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed network connections. This 5 metre cable uses Cat7 specification with S/FTP (overall screen with individually shielded pairs) construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors at both ends. The red PVC jacket provides visual identification for patch panels and cable runs while the shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) design delivers improved protection against pair-to-pair crosstalk and outside interference compared with unshielded alternatives. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance. A 5 m length strikes a balance between flexibility and reach for typical rack-to-workstation or equipment-to-switch connections, and the red outer jacket simplifies cable management and fault tracing in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking desktop workstations to wall ports
• Short runs between network devices in server rooms
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid or foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket colour: Red
• Conductor arrangement: Twisted pairs

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the cable for patching between switches, patch panels, routers, or wall sockets; avoid excessive bending near the connector boots and observe the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to prevent damage to internal shielding. For permanent installations, route the cable alongside other shielded cables and ensure proper grounding of shielded components if required by the site’s cabling standards.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended distances for copper Ethernet runs and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. When installing in shielded systems, ensure connector housings and equipment chassis provide proper continuity for the cable shielding. Use the red jacket as part of a colour-coded scheme to identify specific network segments or device types.
