EFB Elektronik K8708GE.050 Cat.7 S/FTP Patch Cable, 10m, Grey, RJ45, LSZH, 10Gbps

Engineered for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, this Cat.7 S/FTP patch cable delivers up to 600 MHz bandwidth and flawless signal integrity over 10 metres. Each twisted pair is individually foil-shielded (PiMF) and wrapped in an overall braid, virtually eliminating alien crosstalk and EMI. The grey LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and low-smoke, making it safe for offices, data centres, and public buildings. Gold-plated Hirose TM21 RJ45 connectors with snagless molded boots ensure secure, corrosion-resistant connections rated for thousands of mating cycles. Built around a stranded AWG 26/7 copper core, it remains flexible yet durable for frequent patching. Tested to TIA/EIA 568B wiring and 100 Ohm impedance, this cable exceeds Cat.7 specifications for reliable 10GBASE-T performance.

Overview

The EFB Elektronik K8708GE.050 is a premium 10-metre Cat.7 patch cable designed for high-density network environments where performance and safety are critical. It combines Daetwyler 7702 cable construction with Hirose TM21 connectors, delivering a professional-grade link for switches, servers, patch panels, and workstations. The S/FTP shielding (overall braid + per-pair foil) provides superior protection against interference, ensuring stable 10 Gbps data transfer even in noisy racks. The LSZH jacket meets strict fire safety regulations, producing minimal smoke and no halogen gases in the event of a fire. With its grey colour and snagless boot design, it blends discreetly into any infrastructure while simplifying cable management.
