Networking Cable EFB Elektronik EC020200101 30m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45

The EFB Elektronik EC020200101 30m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 networking cable delivers a long, shielded connection for high-speed data transmission across medium to large installations. Built to Cat6a performance parameters, the cable supports multi-gigabit Ethernet applications and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable signal contact and reduce corrosion. The blue jacket provides easy visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable offers improved protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk thanks to its overall braided shield combined with individually foil-shielded pairs. The shielding and quality connectors help sustain stable throughput up to 10000 Mbit/s over the appropriate network hardware. A 30 m length covers runs between equipment racks, office workstations, or AV installations without the need for intermediate patch panels. The blue outer sheath is flexible enough for routing while remaining durable for typical installation conditions.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center environments
• Connecting network switches, patch panels, routers and endpoints over intermediate distances
• Structured cabling where shielded pairs are required to reduce interference from nearby power lines or electronic equipment
• Audio/video setups and professional AV racks that require high bandwidth and low signal degradation

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braided shield plus individually foil-shielded twisted pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Nominal maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (dependent on network equipment and distance)
• Length: 30 m
• Colour: blue

How to use

Route the cable from the source device to the destination, avoiding sharp bends and proximity to strong electromagnetic sources where possible. Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. For best performance, use the cable within its specified length and combine it with networking hardware rated for Cat6a or higher. If mounting along walls or in cable trays, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the jacket excessively.

Recommendations

For sustained 10 Gigabit performance, pair this Cat6a S/FTP cable with compatible switches, NICs and patch panels; avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long stretches to minimize interference. Test connections after installation with a network tester or performance tool to verify expected throughput and correct termination.
