Network cable EFB Elektronik K3130.20 — Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP), RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 20 m, black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.20 is a 20 m Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) RJ45 patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. Manufactured in Europe using a Cat.7 Patch Pro flex core from Draka and Hirose TM31 connectors with gold-plated contacts, the cable offers robust electrical performance. The PUR outer sheath increases mechanical durability and makes the cable suitable for outdoor use except for direct burial.

Advantages

The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and meets Cat6a standards for reduced crosstalk and improved high-frequency performance. S/FTP shielding provides individual foil shielding around pairs plus an overall braid for enhanced EMI protection. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance. The PUR jacket adds abrasion and weather resistance compared with standard PVC jackets.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in LAN and data center environments
• High-density patch panels and rack cabling
• Outdoor network runs where direct burial is not required (e.g., conduits, covered routes)
• Applications requiring enhanced shielding against electromagnetic interference

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into corresponding network ports on switches, patch panels, or devices, ensuring correct orientation and full insertion until a click is felt. Route the cable without sharp bends and secure with cable management accessories to avoid strain on the connectors. For outdoor installations, run the cable in conduit or covered trays and avoid direct burial.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable run lengths within industry standards for structured cabling and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Use shielded connectors and properly bonded grounding when integrating into shielded systems to maintain S/FTP effectiveness.
