Cabo de rede EFB Elektronik EC020200112 15 m Cat6a S/FTP laranja

The EFB Elektronik EC020200112 15m Cat6a S/FTP Orange is a high-performance Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Compliant with Cat6a specifications and equipped with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction, this 15-metre cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk while supporting high-speed data transfer up to 10,000 Mbit/s. The cable terminates in two RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance. The bright orange jacket enhances visibility in network installations, cable runs, and patch panels.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides both overall and individual pair protection against external noise and internal pair-to-pair interference, improving signal integrity in congested or electrically noisy environments. The Cat6a specification allows support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper for typical run lengths, making the cable suitable for modern LAN backbones and high-bandwidth endpoints. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent contact quality and reduced oxidation over time. The 15 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across larger rooms, server racks, or between patch panels and switches. The orange outer sheath aids identification and routing of network lines.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within offices, server rooms, or data closets
• High-bandwidth connections for workstations, media devices, and networked storage
• Cable management runs where visual identification is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring bends follow the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius to avoid signal degradation. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until the latch clicks. For permanent installations, secure the cable along cable trays or with appropriate ties, avoiding sharp kinks and excessive tension. When connecting to patch panels or switches, label both ends if needed for future maintenance. Ensure connectors and ports are free from dust and debris before mating.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at higher data rates, keep cable runs within recommended maximum lengths for copper Ethernet and avoid running the cable in close parallel alongside high-voltage power lines. Verify compatibility of connected equipment for 10 Gigabit operation and consider using shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels where shielding continuity is required.
