Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K3130.50 RJ-45 Cat6a 50 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.50 RJ-45 Cat6a 50 m Black networking cable is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point network links. It supports Cat6a performance parameters and data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and connection reliability while the 50 m length and black outer jacket fit installations in server rooms, offices, and home networks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and better performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the specified cable length. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure lower contact resistance and more reliable connectivity over repeated plug cycles. The 50 m length minimizes the need for intermediate patching in medium-sized installations, and the black jacket offers a discreet, professional appearance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• High-speed office networks and small business infrastructure
• Point-to-point connections between switches, routers, and patch panels
• Home networks requiring stable, high-bandwidth wired connections

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Measure the required run and lay the cable avoiding sharp bends and tight radii; maintain separation from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference. Terminate the RJ-45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on switches, routers, network interface cards, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secure; for permanent installations, use cable management such as trays or clips to support the cable and prevent strain on connectors. Test the link with appropriate network testers to verify continuity, pair assignment and Cat6a performance.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-current electrical cables and keep bend radius above manufacturer-recommended limits. Use shielded connectors or properly grounded patch panels when integrating into shielded installations to preserve S/FTP effectiveness. Periodically inspect connectors and cable jacket for damage and replace if degradation is observed.
