Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560GR.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8560GR.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30m Grey is a shielded network cable designed for stable, high-speed data transmission in wired Ethernet networks. Meeting Cat6a specifications and equipped with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this 30 meter patch cable is suitable for structured cabling runs where reduced electromagnetic interference and consistent gigabit performance are required. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for office or residential installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting reliable signal integrity over longer runs. Cat6a performance enables 10 Gigabit Ethernet at shorter distances and robust gigabit operation across typical installations. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network devices. The 30 m length offers flexibility for connecting distant equipment without additional couplers or intermediate hardware.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices in offices and data closets
• Home network backbones and long-distance patch runs
• Environments with moderate electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6a performance

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid and individual pair shielding)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 30 m
• Supported cabling technology: 10/100/1000Base-T(X)
• Outer colour: Grey

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks; maintain appropriate separation from power cables to minimize interference. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the device ports until the latch clicks. For wall or ceiling runs, secure the cable with suitable clips or cable management accessories and avoid excessive pulling force during installation. If terminating into patch panels or keystone jacks, use the factory-terminated RJ-45 ends for plug-in connections or replace with professional terminations if required by the installation design.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with AC power lines for long distances and observe manufacturer bend radius and pull tension limits. Use the 30 m length for single-run connections where possible and pair with shielded connectors or grounded panels when installing in electrically noisy environments.
