Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8054.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8054.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Blue networking cable is a 30-metre Category 6a Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired networks. It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and improved corrosion resistance. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification in patching environments and cable runs.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a construction delivers enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable 10 Gbps connections at suitable distances. S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individual pair shielding to minimize external interference and internal pair-to-pair noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve long-term connector reliability and contact quality. The 30 m length covers longer runs between networking equipment without intermediate patch panels, while the durable outer jacket offers mechanical protection in typical indoor installations.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Max data rate: 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 30 m
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding network port. Ensure devices support the intended speed and duplex settings; for 10 Gbps operation, use compatible network equipment and appropriate port configurations. Lay the cable avoiding sharp bends, kinks and tight bundling with power cables to maintain signal integrity. For permanent installations, route the cable through cable management trays or conduits as required by local installation practices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at higher data rates, maintain bend radii recommended for Ethernet cabling, avoid excessive tension during installation, and separate from sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Verify connector seating and test links with a network tester after installation to confirm link speed and integrity.
