Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8580GR.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8580GR.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3m Grey is a 3‑meter high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. Built to Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding, this networking cable supports high data rates and reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission. Gold‑plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact quality and corrosion resistance while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for home and office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers support for data transmission speeds up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for demanding network environments. The S/FTP shielding design combines an overall braid with individually shielded twisted pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference. Gold‑plated RJ-45 plugs enhance connector durability and ensure consistent electrical contact. The 3 m length provides flexibility for typical workstation, router, or switch connections without excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and networked devices to routers or switches
• Office networks requiring low interference and high bandwidth
• Home entertainment systems and gaming setups demanding stable wired connections
• Short to medium distance links in server rooms and network cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold‑plated contacts
• Cable length: 3 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to the port on a router, switch or modem. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For best results route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors, fluorescent lighting or unshielded power cables. Avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and leave a small service loop to reduce strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for wired links where consistent high throughput and low interference are important. For installations in environments with significant EMI, maintain separation from power lines and consider using cable management solutions to preserve shielding integrity. For runs longer than 3 m, select an appropriately longer cable while keeping category and shielding consistent with network requirements.
