Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8056.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10m Orange

The EFB Elektronik K8056.10 is a 10 m Cat.6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It features S/FTP construction with PiMF (pairs in metal foil) shielding and a 500 MHz performance rating. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-5) and the cable is coded to TIA/EIA 568B. The orange jacket and LSZH material provide visible routing and reduced hazardous emissions.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP design and PiMF construction reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting high-speed 10 GbE transmission up to the cable's 500 MHz rating. The cable meets flame retardant and low-halogen standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034) and includes mounted strain relief boots with latch protection for improved connector durability. Class EA link certification by GHMT confirms compliance with Cat6A performance requirements.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks in data centers and wiring closets
• High-performance office network backbones and server connections
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Installations where LSZH jackets and visible cable color are preferred

How to use

Connect the cable between two RJ45 ports following the TIA/EIA 568B wiring scheme. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and use the mounted strain relief boot to reduce stress on the plug. For permanent installations, route the cable avoiding sharp bends and maintain bend radii recommended for Cat6A to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 GbE performance, avoid bundling large numbers of unshielded cables together near sources of strong electromagnetic interference; if running alongside power cables, maintain separation or use grounded shielded infrastructure. Verify terminations and perform certification testing when used in structured cabling projects.
