Networking cable Triton EC020200173 Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) Red, 20 m, RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, gold contacts

Triton EC020200173 Cat7 S/FTP (S‑STP) networking cable is a 20 m patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. Designed to support high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10,000 Mbit/s, this red cable uses individually foil-screened pairs plus an overall braid to provide effective protection against electromagnetic interference. Its construction is intended for reliable signal transmission in server rooms, office networks and professional structured-cabling installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding combines pair-level foil and an overall braided screen to minimise crosstalk and external EMI, improving signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. Gold-plated contacts reduce oxidation and ensure consistent electrical contact over repeated insertions. The 20 m length allows flexible placement of devices without additional couplers, and the RJ‑45 termination maintains compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and network equipment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centres and server rooms
• Office LAN connections between switches, routers and workstations
• Professional structured cabling and patch panels
• Applications requiring reduced EMC/EMI interference

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network port of your switch, router or network interface and the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For structured cabling, route the cable along designated trays or conduits and avoid sharp bends; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by standard cabling practice to preserve transmission performance. When connecting to patch panels or keystone modules, verify pinout compatibility with your network equipment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep separation from strong electromagnetic sources. Use in environments within standard temperature and humidity ranges for Ethernet cabling and inspect connectors periodically for contamination or damage. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories and avoid excessive tension when pulling through conduits.
