Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8580RT.7,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8580RT.7,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5m Red is a high-performance network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home, office and data center environments. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, the cable supports high data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent contact and corrosion resistance, while the 7.5 m length and red jacket provide flexible routing and clear visual identification in cabling runs.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design offers improved protection against noise compared with unshielded cables, making it suitable for environments with potential electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure stable electrical connection and durability through repeated insertions. Cat6a specification and construction enable high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the provided 7.5 m length, while the colored jacket simplifies cable management and identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short to medium distances
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and servers
• Workstations and professional AV setups requiring shielded cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

How to use

Route the cable between networking devices ensuring that connectors are fully inserted into RJ-45 ports until the latch clicks. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks by maintaining a gentle bend radius consistent with Ethernet cable handling practices; do not exceed manufacturer-recommended bend limits. Keep the shield termination intact at connection points and, where applicable, ensure proper grounding of shielded equipment and patch panels to preserve S/FTP performance. Test the link after installation with an appropriate network tester to confirm continuity and performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded installations and connect to shielded RJ-45 ports or properly grounded patch panels. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances, and label both ends to maintain clear cable identification in racks or patch fields.
