Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8580RT.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8580RT.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Red is a professional-grade networking cable designed for high-speed wired connections. With a 10 metre length and Cat6a specification, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is built with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and reduced signal loss, while the red jacket makes cable routing and identification easier in dense installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable combines high bandwidth capability with enhanced shielding, offering improved signal integrity in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment. The gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide corrosion resistance and consistent conductivity over time. The 10 m length suits flexible placement between network devices without the need for additional couplers, and the coloured outer jacket assists with visual identification and organised cable management.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between switches, routers and servers in small offices or data closets
• Connecting desktop PCs, workstations and NAS devices to local networks
• Home network installations where a clear cable colour aids routing
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference, such as near power supplies or multiple cabling runs

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Length: 10 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Red

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks; maintain separation from power cables where possible to minimise interference. Plug the RJ-45 connectors fully into the Ethernet ports until they click to establish a secure connection. If longer runs or permanent installations are required, test the link with appropriate network testing equipment to verify cable performance and signal quality.

Recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a cable in structured cabling runs up to its rated length, avoid excess tension on the conductors, and periodically inspect connector contacts for dust or corrosion. When installing in mixed cable environments, maintain recommended separation from high-voltage lines and use cable management accessories to preserve performance and accessibility.
