Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K3130.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Black is a shielded network cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a specifications, this 30-metre cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP shielding together with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain signal integrity and reliable contact in environments with potential electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

Shielded construction (S/FTP) reduces near-end and far-end crosstalk and protects the transmission from external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide improved corrosion resistance and stable electrical contact. The Cat6a specification ensures bandwidth headroom for applications requiring 10 Gbps performance and compatibility with lower-category Ethernet devices. A 30 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across larger rooms or between adjacent server racks or workstations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data centres
• Wired home networks where long cable runs are needed
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Cable length: 30 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the cable between network devices, avoiding sharp bends and prolonged tight loops to preserve conductor integrity. Ensure both ends are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch engages. For best performance, keep the cable separated from power cables and heavy EMI sources where possible. If used in structured cabling, terminate or patch the cable at appropriate panels and ensure connectors are seated firmly in switches or patch panels.

Recommendations

Use the cable for permanent or semi-permanent wiring runs up to 30 m. For installations that require channel certification or specific testing, perform continuity and performance tests (including NEXT and return loss where applicable) after installation. Replace the cable if connector damage or persistent connection issues appear.
