Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8580SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8580SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black is a shielded network patch cable designed for fast, reliable Ethernet connections. With Cat6a performance and S/FTP shielding, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for environments where signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference are important. The 1 m length and black jacket make it convenient for short links between switches, patch panels and desktop equipment in office or server-room setups.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification ensures wide bandwidth and consistent throughput for high-speed networks. S/FTP shielding around pairs with an overall braid reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving stability in congested cable environments. Durable RJ-45 connectors provide secure terminations and simple plug-and-play installation, while the compact 1 m length limits excess cable clutter. The black PVC jacket offers a discreet, professional appearance and basic mechanical protection.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and workstations
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbit/s over short distances
• Server racks and data cabinets with shielded cabling requirements
• Home or office networks requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router, network card) and the other connector into the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight bundles with power cables, or pinch points that could damage shielding or conductors. For best results, keep cable runs within recommended length limits for copper Ethernet and avoid unnecessary tension.

Recommendations

Use this 1 m Cat6a S/FTP cable for short, high-speed links where shielding is needed to maintain signal quality. Avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines and replace the cable if connector housings or the jacket show signs of damage. For installations requiring longer runs, select appropriately rated Cat6a cables of suitable length and consider professional cable management in rack environments.
