Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560RT.15 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8560RT.15 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Red is a shielded ethernet cable engineered for high-speed wired networks. It supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses Cat6a specifications to provide reliable performance for demanding network environments. The cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain stable signal transmission and resist corrosion. Its 15 m length and red jacket make it suitable for visible cable runs and organized installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around individual pairs and an overall foil and braid layer minimize crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over longer distances. Cat6a performance supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet where infrastructure permits, while gold-plated RJ-45 plugs offer low contact resistance and improved long-term durability. The 15 m length provides reach for connections between switches, patch panels and endpoints without the need for intermediate couplers. The red outer jacket aids quick visual identification in crowded cabling setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within offices, server rooms or home labs
• Backbone runs between switches and patch panels in wiring closets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, VoIP and large file transfers
• Visible or color-coded cable management in network installations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 15 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil around pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Red

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring there is sufficient slack to avoid strain on the RJ-45 connectors. Insert each gold-plated RJ-45 plug fully into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain recommended bend radius for Cat6a cables to preserve performance. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or Velcro straps and keep data cables separated from high-voltage power lines to reduce interference.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in combination with shielded network ports and properly terminated patch panels or keystone jacks. Test end-to-end connectivity and throughput after installation using network testing tools to verify link speed and signal quality.
