Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8108SW.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8108SW.3 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 3 m black patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) connections. It uses U/UTP cable structure with a compact 3.6 mm diameter and a cross section of 4 x 2 x AWG30/7. The cable has moulded slim connectors with gold-plated contacts and a short RJ-45 plug design that supports high packing density and reliable signal transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. A TPE outer sheath provides flexibility for easy routing in confined spaces while maintaining mechanical stability.

Advantages

The shielded Cat6a construction and U/UTP structure reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and improved durability for repeated insertions. The thin outer jacket together with a short connector and slim moulded grommet enable high-density patching in server racks or switch panels. The cable's flexibility from the TPE sheath simplifies installation in tight cable channels.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks and high-speed LANs
• Server racks, patch panels and switch-to-switch connections
• Home offices and professional workstations requiring reliable wired connectivity
• Environments where high packing density and flexible cabling routing are needed

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other to the corresponding port on the remote device, ensuring the clips lock securely. Route the cable through cable organizers or ties as needed, avoiding sharp bends below the cable's minimum bend radius. For high-density installations, align the short connectors to maximize panel space. Verify link status and transfer rates on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended length limits for Ethernet segments, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for long distances, and use proper cable management to prevent stress on connectors. When used in patch panels or densely packed switch ports, the slim moulded connector and thin jacket help maintain accessible port spacing.
