Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8580GR.40 RJ-45 Cat6a 40 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8580GR.40 RJ-45 Cat6a 40 m Grey networking cable delivers a stable wired connection for local networks and Ethernet installations. Designed for data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, this Cat6a cable uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and preserve signal integrity over its 40 m length. Both ends feature RJ-45 connectors with nickel/gold plating for reliable contact and increased resistance to corrosion. The grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for office and home environments.

Advantages

The SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding limits crosstalk and external interference, which supports consistent high-speed data transmission. Cat6a specification enables higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with lower category cables. Nickel/gold plated RJ-45 connectors provide durable contacts and stable connections over repeated insertions. A 40 m length allows flexible placement of network devices while maintaining signal quality for typical LAN deployments.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within offices and data closets
• Structured cabling runs where 40 m cable length is required
• Network switches, routers and patch panels requiring RJ-45 terminated cables

How to use

Route the EFB Elektronik Cat6a cable between network devices, ensuring the cable is not bent sharply or exposed to mechanical stress. Plug RJ-45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, routers, computers or patch panels until the latch secures the connector. For structured cabling, label both ends and use appropriate cable management to avoid kinks and maintain shielding effectiveness. Verify link status and speed on connected devices after installation.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep a reasonable separation from strong electromagnetic sources. Use proper strain relief and patch panels for permanent installations, and replace cables showing visible damage or degraded connector contacts.
