Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8580SW.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8580SW.10 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 10 m black cable engineered for high-speed wired connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. Built to Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it is intended for environments that require stable data transmission and improved protection against electromagnetic interference. The cable's length and connector type make it suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices across residential or office spaces.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The 10 m length offers flexibility for placement of network hardware while the black jacket provides a neutral and unobtrusive appearance in installations.

Suitable for

• Wiring between switches, routers and patch panels
• High-bandwidth connections for servers and NAS devices
• Office and home LAN setups requiring Cat6a performance
• Structured cabling where S/FTP shielding is desired

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the cable to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on a switch, router, modem or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity. For permanent installations, use appropriate cable management such as clips, trays or conduits to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified length and avoid tight bends or kinks. Keep the cable separated from high-voltage power lines and large electrical equipment to minimize interference. Periodically inspect connectors for damage or corrosion and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors are compromised.
