Networking cable Triton EC020200164 Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 0.5 m RJ-45 gold

Triton EC020200164 Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red 0.5 m RJ-45 gold is a short patch cable designed for high-speed wired networks. The cable conforms to Category 7 specification with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, providing a compact, low-loss connection for switches, routers and patch panels in server rooms, workstations or office racks. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact and reduced corrosion over time, while the 0.5 m length is suitable for short link runs and tidy cable management.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs to minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense network environments. Category 7 support and a rated throughput up to 10,000 Mbit/s make this cable compatible with high-bandwidth applications and gigabit to 10‑gigabit Ethernet equipment. The compact 0.5 m length reduces excess cabling, improves airflow in racks and simplifies organized patching between adjacent ports.

Suitable for

• Short patch runs between adjacent switch or patch panel ports
• High‑speed LAN connections up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connections in server rooms, telecommunication cabinets and office racks
• Linking routers, switches, network appliances and desktop workstations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat7
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Color: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the source device and the other RJ-45 end to the destination device, ensuring connectors are fully seated in the port until the latch clicks. This 0.5 m patch cable is intended for short links; avoid tight bends or repeated sharp kinks near the connector boots to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding. For installation in racks or cabinets, route the cable alongside existing patch cords and secure with appropriate ties or cable management to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat7 S/FTP cable for short, performance-sensitive connections where interference suppression and reliable contact are required. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high‑voltage power lines to minimize possible noise coupling. For longer links, choose an appropriately rated longer cable to maintain signal integrity and compliance with installation standards.
