Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560OR.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Orange

The EFB Elektronik K8560OR.3 is a 3 m Cat6A networking patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. It has shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs on both ends and an S/FTP construction (4 pairs, PiMF, AWG27/7) with a 5.9 mm diameter jacket. The cable meets TIA/EIA-568B pinout and industry safety standards for flame retardance and low halogen/smoke emissions.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP design and Hirose TM31 shielded RJ45 plugs minimise electromagnetic interference and support stable 10 Gbit/s data transmission. The LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket improves safety in confined or public spaces, while the mounted strain relief boot with latch protection enhances connector durability during frequent handling. The orange colour increases visibility for easier cable management.

Suitable for

• Server rooms and data centres requiring 10GBase-T connections
• Professional network installations and structured cabling
• Workstations and switches where interference protection is needed

How to use

Connect each RJ45 Hirose TM31 plug to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring the TIA/EIA-568B wiring orientation is preserved. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and heavy compression; use cable management accessories if necessary. The mounted strain relief boot with latch protection prevents accidental disconnection and reduces stress at the connector.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6A S/FTP cable for short to medium runs (typical up to 3 m) in environments where 10 Gbit/s performance and shielding against EMI are required. Avoid exposure to extreme heat and mechanical damage; follow local installation codes for plenum or tray routing.
