Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8048PUI1 — Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP), 1 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, black/red

EFB Elektronik K8048PUI1 is a Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP) network cable, 1 m in length, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed local area networks, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 Gbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable connectivity and reduce contact corrosion. The cable’s black-and-red jacket provides visual identification for patch panels, server racks and short-link connections where colour coding helps organisation.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding combines overall foil shielding with individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in dense network environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve signal transmission and contact longevity. The 1 m length is suitable for neat patching between network devices in racks or desktop setups, while the flexible jacket allows for easy routing in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet patching between switches and servers
• Connections within server racks and data cabinets
• Short horizontal runs between wall outlets and network devices
• High-interference environments requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: black outer jacket with red identification
• Rated speed: up to 10 Gbit/s

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of a switch, router or server and the other to the corresponding device or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully seated and the latch engages to avoid intermittent contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with strong electromagnetic sources. For installations in racks, use standard cable management to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended length limits for copper Ethernet and avoid running parallel to mains power cables. Use the black-and-red jacket for easy identification in multi-cable bundles and replace cables showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors to maintain signal integrity.
