Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8052.15 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8052.15 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Red is a high-performance network cable designed for reliable wired connections in offices, data closets and home networks. Compliant with the Cat6a standard and supporting 10GBase-T cabling technology, this 15-metre cable enables data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and features RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for stable signal transmission. Its red jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides robust protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity over longer distances. Gold-plated contacts on both RJ-45 connectors enhance corrosion resistance and ensure consistent electrical contact. The Cat6a specification supports 10GBase-T applications, making the cable suitable for high-bandwidth tasks. A 15 m length offers flexibility in cable routing without relying on additional patch panels or extenders. The distinct red colour simplifies cable management in rack or office setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet connections between network switches, routers and servers
• High-bandwidth workstations and multimedia streaming setups
• Structured cabling in offices, server rooms and home networks
• Temporary installations and test lab environments requiring visible cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Supported cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 15 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of a network device (switch, router, server or NIC) and the other plug to the destination port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking clip engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain proper bend radius according to Cat6a installation practices. For permanent installations in structured cabling, use appropriate cable management hardware and avoid exceeding recommended pulling tensions.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep it within the rated length for 10GBase-T performance. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised. Use the red colour to label or separate traffic types in multi-cable installations for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
