Ethernet networking cable EFB Elektronik K8560SW.40 — Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP), RJ-45 to RJ-45, 40 m, black

The EFB Elektronik K8560SW.40 is a 40 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 patch cable in black, built for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable uses Draka UC900 SS27 Cat.7 raw cable and Hirose TM31 RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to ensure stable data transmission and compatibility with standard Ethernet ports.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP patch cable supports data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s and provides improved alien crosstalk protection thanks to the S/FTP shielding. The combination of high-quality Draka raw cable and Hirose TM31 connectors with gold plating offers reliable electrical contact and long-term mechanical stability. The 40 m length and standard RJ-45 connectors make the cable suitable for structured cabling and point-to-point links in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Structured cabling between switches, patch panels and servers
• Horizontal and vertical patching in data centers and server rooms
• Environments requiring improved shielding against interference

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid excessive bending or pulling on the cable to maintain performance. For best results, route the cable separately from strong electromagnetic sources and secure it in cable management systems or trays to prevent strain.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for short- to medium-length 10 Gigabit links within racks and between patch panels. Avoid sharp bends and tensile loads; keep bend radius above the cable manufacturer's recommendation and do not exceed the specified length for intended channel performance.
