Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8580SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8580SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 2 m black cable designed for high-speed wired network connections. Compliant with Cat6a performance, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain consistent signal quality in demanding environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable combines S/FTP shielding with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to provide improved protection against crosstalk and external interference. The 2 m length offers flexibility for desktop, rack and home networking setups without excess cable clutter. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for professional and domestic installations while maintaining robust electrical performance for high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and workstations to network switches or routers
• Linking network equipment in server racks and patch panels within data cabinets
• High-bandwidth applications such as streaming, VoIP and large file transfers
• Home and small office networks where interference reduction and stable connections are required

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 2 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your computer, switch, router or other Ethernet-enabled device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to establish a reliable physical connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends near the connector ends and route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference, such as large motors or unshielded power lines.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short to medium-length runs where Cat6a performance is required; for longer permanent installations consider appropriate in-wall rated cables and follow local installation standards. Inspect connector contacts periodically and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show mechanical damage.
