Networking cable EFB Elektronik K3130.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.3 is a 3 m Cat6a networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for wired Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6a specification and equipped with S/FTP shielding, this black cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, and the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s for applications that require higher bandwidth and lower latency.

Advantages

The cable’s S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to preserve signal integrity over the full 3 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance contact reliability and reduce the risk of connection degradation. Cat6a specification enables higher frequency operation and support for faster Ethernet standards, while the black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers and patch panels in small office or home networks
• Wired connections for desktop computers, servers and network-attached storage
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers and online gaming
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall shield with foil and individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: Black
• Maximum supported data rate (manufacturer-stated): up to 10000 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid excessive bending of the cable near the connector ends to maintain shielding and performance. For patching in structured cabling systems, route the cable along appropriate cable paths and avoid running it in parallel with power lines to minimize potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal long-term performance, avoid sharp bends and repeated flexing; secure the cable with appropriate ties or guides without compressing the jacket. Use the cable within its specified length and in combination with Cat6a-compliant components to achieve the stated data rates.
