Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8580RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8580RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable, 1 m in red, is designed for reliable, high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a specification, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for modern wired networks. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and S/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity over short distances.

Advantages

The combination of Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding ensures improved crosstalk protection and reduced external interference compared with lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer stable contact resistance and better corrosion resistance for long-term use. The 1 m length provides a compact solution for connecting devices in racks, patch panels, switches, or desktop setups without excess slack. The red outer jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network switches, routers, and patch panels in data cabinets and server rooms
• Short-run desktop or workstation Ethernet connections
• High-speed applications such as Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances
• Color-coded cabling schemes and visible cable management

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks into place. Ensure both ends are fully seated and verify link/activity LEDs on connected equipment to confirm a successful physical connection. For patch panels and switches, route the cable to avoid tight bends and strain on the connectors. Use the 1 m length for short links where minimal cable slack is preferred.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Maintain bend radius recommendations for Cat6a cabling and secure connectors to prevent mechanical strain. Use the red colour to mark critical links or follow your site’s colour-coding plan for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
