Network cable EFB Elektronik K8560OR.50 — Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP), 50 m, RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, orange

EFB Elektronik K8560OR.50 is a 50 m Cat6a network cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding, designed for high‑speed LAN and structured cabling installations. The cable features RJ‑45 connectors on both ends with gold‑plated contacts and an orange outer jacket for easy identification and routing. It supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is engineered to minimize electromagnetic interference in environments with multiple network runs or nearby electrical equipment.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The 50 m length provides flexibility for medium‑sized installations, while the Cat6a specification supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper. The orange jacket improves visibility in patch panels, cable trays, and ceiling voids, simplifying maintenance and identification.

Suitable for

• High‑speed LAN and office networks
• Server rooms and data cabinets
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal runs
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 with gold‑plated contacts
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Color: orange jacket for easy identification

How to use

Unwind the 50 m cable carefully to avoid kinks and bend it within the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius. Terminate each end into RJ‑45 ports on network devices, switches, patch panels, or wall outlets, ensuring secure connector seating. Use the cable for horizontal runs, patching between patch panels and switches, or direct connections between network equipment. Test each link with a certified cable tester to verify continuity, pair assignment and performance up to Cat6a specifications.

Recommendations

Route the cable away from high‑voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible. Keep cable lengths within structured cabling limits for optimal performance and avoid tight bends or repeated flexing. Use cable management accessories such as labels and color‑coded ties to take advantage of the orange jacket for easier identification during installation and maintenance.
