Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K3130.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.10 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 10 m black patch cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable provides stable signal transmission and improved resistance to crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The cable’s length and robust connectors make it suitable for connecting switches, routers, patch panels and network devices in structured cabling setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding offers both overall foil and individually shielded twisted pairs, which reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk and improves performance in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure corrosion resistance and reliable contact over repeated insertions. Compliance with Cat6a performance parameters supports 10G Ethernet applications at typical horizontal cabling lengths. A 10 m length provides flexibility for wall-to-rack, rack-to-desk or equipment-to-equipment connections without the need for intermediate patch panels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within offices, server rooms and data centres
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and network storage
• Structured cabling runs between racks and workstations up to 10 m
• Environments requiring reduced interference, such as near power cabling or dense cable bundles

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the corresponding port of the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and that strain on the cable is minimised by routing it along cable management paths or using cable ties. For best performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable’s specification and keep the cable separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium horizontal links where 10 Gbps performance is required. For installations in high-interference environments or long permanent links, verify channel loss and installation guidelines according to your structured cabling standards to ensure required performance margins.
