Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8108SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8108SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 1 m black patch cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s. Built to Cat6a performance with U/UTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable supports high-speed 10GBase-T networks while maintaining signal integrity and low insertion loss. Its compact 1 meter length is suitable for short runs between devices in racks, desktop setups, or home media centers.

Advantages

The Cat6a specification and U/UTP shielding provide improved crosstalk and noise performance compared with lower-category cables, enabling stable transfers at high data rates. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors reduce contact oxidation and improve long-term connectivity. The black outer jacket offers a discreet appearance that integrates easily into professional and consumer environments. The cable’s build balances flexibility for routing with sufficient durability for repeated plugging.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T network connections between switches, routers, and servers
• High-bandwidth desktop or workstation Ethernet links
• Patch panels and rack-mounted equipment in data cabinets
• Home networking for media streaming and gaming

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid/foil absent)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colour: Black
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 end to the Ethernet ports of the devices you intend to link, such as a switch, router, network interface card or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For best signal quality, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than the cable diameter and keep the cable separated from strong electrical noise sources. Use the 1 m length for short point-to-point connections where excess slack is not required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 10GBase-T environments, pair the Cat6a cable with compatible Cat6a-rated ports and maintain proper cable management in racks and patch panels to minimize interference. Inspect connectors periodically for debris or damage and replace the cable if mechanical wear affects connectivity.
