Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560RT.1 RJ45 Cat6a 1m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8560RT.1 RJ45 Cat6a 1m Red networking cable is designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections over short distances. Compliant with Cat6a performance expectations, this 1 meter cable uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a visible red jacket to simplify identification in patch panels, racks, or between desktop equipment. The cable is intended for use where reduced crosstalk and stable gigabit or 10 Gigabit-capable links are required within a one-metre run.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides improved pair-twisting and shielding characteristics compared with lower-category cables, supporting higher bandwidth and lower signal interference for short runs. The compact 1 m length reduces excess cable clutter, and the red color makes it simple to trace connections in dense cabling environments. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs ensure consistent contact and reduced oxidation risk for long-term reliability.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within a rack or workspace
• Patching between patch panel and network switch in server cabinets
• Short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where Cat6a performance is required
• Color-coded network installations for easier maintenance and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Red
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and short-distance 10 Gigabit Ethernet

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place and that the cable is not tightly bent near the plug ends; maintain gentle cable curves to avoid stress on the conductors. For rack installations, route the cable to avoid sharp edges and use appropriate cable management to prevent kinking or accidental disconnection.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep this Cat6a cable within its 1 m length without excessive tension, avoid running it alongside high-voltage power lines, and use color-coding to identify specific network segments. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure patching ports are free of damage to maintain stable connections.
