Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8052.50 RJ-45 Cat6a 50 m rood

The EFB Elektronik K8052.50 RJ-45 Cat6a 50m in red is a high-performance network cable designed for structured cabling and reliable Ethernet connections. With Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding, the cable supports high data rates and reduces electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the 50 m length provides flexibility for routing between equipment racks, patch panels and workstations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers support for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over 50 meters under suitable installation conditions and benefits from S/FTP shielding that protects individual pairs as well as the overall cable from external noise. The RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts deliver stable connectivity and lower signal loss at the plug interface. The red jacket provides clear visual identification in multi-cable environments and helps simplify cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links in offices, server rooms and data cabinets
• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and endpoints
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required
• Cable runs up to 50 metres where a single continuous cable is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor installations unless installed within suitable conduits or protective tubing, as the jacket is specified for standard indoor use. It also may not be suitable for distances beyond 50 m for 10 Gbit/s performance—longer backbone runs typically require fibre optic solutions or additional network design considerations.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (Augmented Category 6)
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s) under standard conditions
• Colour: Red

How to use

Route the cable from source to destination avoiding sharp bends and high-interference areas such as next to heavy electrical equipment or unshielded power cables. Terminate into RJ-45 ports on switches, patch panels or network devices; verify that connectors are fully inserted and latched. For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, ensure connections and patch panels are also rated for Cat6a and keep total permanent link lengths within recommended limits. Test the installed link with a suitable network tester to verify continuity, pair integrity and performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended use: indoor structured cabling and patching
• Required length: 50 m continuous cable run
• Shielding requirements: S/FTP for environments prone to EMI
• Compatibility with existing equipment and patch panels rated for Cat6a

Recommendations

For best results, pair this Cat6a S/FTP cable with Cat6a-rated connectors and infrastructure, maintain proper bend radius, separate it from power cables where possible and verify the finished installation with certified cabling test equipment.
