Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560GE.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8560GE.30 is a 30 m Cat6a networking patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It features RJ-45 connectors with Hirose TM31 plugs, shielded to IEC 60603-7-51 standards, and an S/FTP PiMF conductor arrangement to minimise electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket is low-smoke, halogen-free and flame retardant according to IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034, and the bright yellow colour enhances visibility in installations.

Advantages

Provides 10 Gbit/s data transmission over Cat6a specification with up to 500 MHz bandwidth. The shielded S/FTP construction (4 x 2 x AWG27/7 PiMF) and Hirose TM31 shielded RJ45 plugs reduce crosstalk and external interference for reliable high-speed performance. LSZH jacket improves safety in confined spaces by limiting smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire. TIA/EIA 568B coding ensures compatibility with standard wiring schemes. A mounted strain relief boot with latch protection helps secure plug retention and prolong connector life.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and switches
• High-density patch panels and server racks
• Data centres and telecommunications rooms
• Structured cabling in offices and industrial environments

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plugs to compatible network ports on switches, routers or network interface cards following the TIA/EIA 568B wiring standard. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Cat6a cables. Use the mounted strain relief boot and latch protection to ensure a secure connection and prevent accidental disconnection during operation.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, use this Cat6a cable for runs within recommended channel lengths for 10GBase-T, keep cable runs away from high-voltage power lines, and terminate or patch with compatible shielded components to preserve the cable's shielding effectiveness.
