Networking cable Eigenbrand BS75550-S Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 50 m Black

Eigenbrand BS75550-S Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 50 m Black is a 50‑metre Ethernet patch cable designed for high‑speed network connections. The cable uses Category 7 specification with S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs) to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Both ends are terminated with RJ‑45 male connectors with gold‑plated contacts to ensure consistent signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The black outer jacket provides mechanical protection and a discreet appearance for professional or home installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction offers improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded cables, making this Cat7 cable suitable where signal integrity is important. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts reduce oxidation over time and maintain reliable connectivity. The 50 m length allows flexible placement of network devices without additional couplers, while the durable jacket and solid terminations support repeated handling and secure connections.

Suitable for

• High‑speed Ethernet links in office and data centre environments
• Backbone and horizontal cabling where shielded runs are required
• Home networks with gigabit or multi‑gigabit devices
• Audio/video streaming and professional AV installations
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 male to RJ‑45 male, gold‑plated contacts
• Length: 50 m
• Outer jacket colour: Black

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring smooth bends and avoiding sharp kinks to preserve the internal pair geometry. Plug RJ‑45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports on switches, routers or network cards until the latch clicks. For longer permanent runs, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management to avoid strain on connectors. Test the link speed after installation with network testing tools or device LEDs to confirm correct operation.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for extended distances and keep a small separation from sources of strong electromagnetic noise. Use shielded patch panels or properly grounded equipment in installations where shielding is required to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP construction.
