Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8056.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Orange

The EFB Elektronik K8056.3 is a 3 m Cat6a networking cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses S/FTP (PiMF) construction with 4 twisted pairs AWG27/7 and a 500 MHz bandwidth to ensure reliable high-speed data transmission. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs compliant with IEC 60603-7-5 and the cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) and meets flame retardant and smoke/halogen standards IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034.

Advantages

The cable provides Class EA link performance certified by GHMT for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and features full S/FTP shielding to minimise crosstalk and external interference. Shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs with mounted strain relief boots and latch protection improve connector durability and mechanical stability. The 3 m length and bright orange colour enable easy identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centres and server rooms
• High-speed LAN links between switches, routers and workstations
• Patch panel to active equipment connections in office networks
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices following the TIA/EIA 568B wiring. Ensure the shield is properly terminated to the equipment chassis when used in shielded installations to maintain the S/FTP performance. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tensile stress; use the mounted strain relief boot to protect the connector latch during insertion and removal.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a cable for links up to 3 m in structured cabling systems and keep cable runs within recommended bend radius. In shielded environments, verify connector-to-chassis grounding to benefit from the full shielding effect.
