Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8108WS.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m White

The EFB Elektronik K8108WS.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m White is a network patch cable designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections. It uses Cat6a specification with U/UTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to support high-speed data transmission up to 10 000 Mbit/s over a two-metre length. The cable's white jacket offers a discreet appearance suitable for office, data center and home networking installations.

Advantages

The U/UTP construction provides protection against external electromagnetic interference on the unshielded pairs with an overall foil screening, helping maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs reduce corrosion and ensure a stable electrical connection. The Cat6a category supports 10 Gbps Ethernet and higher bandwidth requirements while keeping predictable performance for Gigabit and multi-gigabit networks. A 2 m length balances reach and cable management for short interconnections between devices, patch panels or switches.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, servers and switches within racks or desktop setups
• Patch panel to switch or switch to switch links in office networks
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet segments in small to medium installations over short distances
• Home network connections where a neat white cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall foil with unshielded pairs)
• Data rate support: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White

How to use

Route the cable between networking devices ensuring bends are gentle and the minimum bend radius is preserved to avoid signal degradation. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding port until the latch clicks. For patch panel installations, ensure correct port labelling on both ends and avoid running the cable alongside strong electrical sources to minimise interference. Verify link status on connected devices and, if necessary, use network testing tools to confirm continuity and performance at the intended speeds.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a cable for short-distance 10 Gbps links and typical LAN patching; avoid tight loops and exposure to high-temperature or high-tension environments. For runs longer than a few metres in performance-sensitive environments, consider certified field testing or using permanently installed cabling that meets channel specifications.
