Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200044 30m Cat6a S/FTP Black

The EFB Elektronik EC020200044 30m Cat6a S/FTP Black networking cable provides a high-performance wired connection for professional and home network installations. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP (shielded foil with individual pair shielding), it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for visible runs while the internal construction is designed to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in demanding environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity over longer distances. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance conductivity and resist corrosion for consistent contact quality. With a 30 m length, the cable allows flexible placement of network devices without intermediate patch panels or repeaters in many setups. The Cat6a standard ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and future-proofs installations where higher bandwidth is required.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers, and servers
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, workstations, and networked printers
• Home and small office network backbones where interference reduction is needed
• Structured cabling runs in media rooms, server closets, and patch panels

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it along the intended path, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks to preserve performance. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device until the latch clicks, and connect the other end to a switch, router, or patch panel. For structured installations, secure the cable with appropriate fixings and maintain separation from power lines to reduce interference. Test the connection with network testing tools if precise validation of speed and link quality is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter. Use cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors and periodically inspect connectors for contamination or damage. In high-density or high-interference environments, consider using shielded patch panels and properly grounding the shielding.
