Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560SW.30 RJ-45 Cat6a 30 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8560SW.30 is a Cat6A 10 Gigabit Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. It has a 30 m black cable with S/FTP construction (4 pairs, PiMF) and a diameter of 5.9 mm, meeting TIA/EIA 568B coding and standard connector requirements. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs that comply with IEC 60603-7-51 and include a mounted strain relief boot with latch protection. The cable sheath is low-smoke halogen-free (LSZH) and flame-retardant in accordance with IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, and IEC 61034.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable 10GBase-T connections. The LSZH flame-retardant jacket minimizes hazardous gases and smoke in case of fire, making the cable suitable for installations with increased safety requirements. The pre-mounted strain relief boot with latch protection prolongs connector life and eases handling during repeated plug cycles.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server rooms
• Office LAN wiring and patch panels
• High-speed workstations and networked storage
• Structured cabling requiring Cat6A performance over 30 m runs

How to use

Route the cable along the planned cable path avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ45 plugs into the corresponding shielded ports until the latch engages; the mounted strain relief boot protects the connector during handling. For patch panels and switches, ensure proper grounding of shielded components to maintain the cable's shielding effectiveness. Test the link after installation to verify Cat6A performance and full 10G connectivity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep run lengths within recommended distances for 10GBase-T and avoid bundling large numbers of power cables with the data cable. Ensure shield termination at both ends and test with certified Cat6A testers when used in critical network environments.
