Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8048PUI2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Black Red

The EFB Elektronik K8048PUI2 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable, 2 m, is designed for high-speed wired connections in home and professional networks. Compliant with Cat6a specifications and supporting 10GBase-T, this cable delivers data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The cable’s black and red jacket provides a distinct visual appearance for easy identification in racks and installations.

Advantages

Cat6a performance enables stable 10 Gbit/s operation over short to medium distances and ensures backward compatibility with lower Ethernet standards. S/FTP shielding surrounds each pair and the overall cable to minimize external noise and maintain signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation over time, supporting long-term connectivity. The 2 m length provides flexibility for patching between network devices, while the two-color jacket helps with cable management and visual organization.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and NAS devices in data closets or server rooms
• High-bandwidth workstations requiring 10G connectivity
• Structured cabling in small office or home office (SOHO) environments
• Patch-panel to switch connections where interference resistance is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Supported standard: 10GBase-T (10 Gbit/s)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil and individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Outer colour: Black and Red

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the source device (for example, a switch or router) and the other RJ-45 connector into the destination device (for example, a computer, NAS or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension. For structured installations, label each end and follow existing cable management pathways to maintain clear airflow and prevent mechanical stress on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal 10G performance, keep the cable run within recommended distances for Cat6a. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to reduce potential interference and use proper strain relief at connection points to extend connector life. When using multiple colored cables, adopt a consistent color-coding scheme to simplify network maintenance.
