Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560RT.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8560RT.30 is a 30 m Cat6a networking cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It features S/FTP PiMF construction with four screened pairs and a 500 MHz rating, terminated with two shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-51) and TIA/EIA 568B wiring. The cable jacket is LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free) and meets flame retardant and smoke/halogen standards IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034 and IEC 60754-2. A mounted strain relief boot with latch protection is included for connector security.

Advantages

The networking cable offers 10GBase-T performance up to 500 MHz with S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs provide robust, standard-compliant terminations while the LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire. The pre-mounted strain relief boot protects the connector latch and improves mechanical reliability during installation and use.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet backbones and server connections
• Switch-to-switch and switch-to-server links in data centres
• Office and commercial network installations requiring low-smoke halogen-free cabling
• Environments needing enhanced protection against EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a, S/FTP PiMF (4 x 2 x AWG27/7)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s (10GBase-T)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: 2 × Hirose TM31 RJ45 shielded, TIA/EIA 568B coded
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke, halogen-free), Ø = 5.9 mm
• Fire and safety standards: IEC 60332-1, IEC 61034, IEC 60754-2

How to use

Connect each end of the cable to RJ45 ports on network equipment following standard Ethernet port conventions. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and the mounted strain relief boot is positioned to protect the connection. For optimal performance, avoid tight bending, excessive tension or placing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Recommendations

For 10GBase-T links, use this Cat6a cable for runs within recommended channel lengths and verify compatibility with your network devices. Route cables with appropriate separation from power lines and secure them with cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and reduce mechanical stress.
