Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8670.1 Red 1m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8670.1 is a 1 meter Cat6a S/FTP RJ45 patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet up to 10 Gbit/s. Manufactured in Europe, the cable uses a Cat7-grade PUR-jacketed conductor assembly and gold-plated RJ45 plugs to provide reliable signal transmission and robust mechanical protection. One connector is fitted with a special grommet that makes that end suitable for IP67-level use, and the PUR outer sheath delivers increased abrasion resistance and resistance to mineral and ASTM oils.

Advantages

This patch cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet with S/FTP shielding that reduces crosstalk and external interference. The PUR outer sheath offers enhanced durability and oil resistance, while gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable electrical contact and low contact resistance. The IP67-capable connector end provides a sealed connection option for environments where dust and temporary ingress of water are a concern.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in data centers and network racks
• Industrial and outdoor environments requiring oil and abrasion resistance
• Applications needing a sealed (IP67) connector end for temporary moisture exposure
• High-speed workstation and switch-to-switch links requiring S/FTP shielding

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (constructed from Cat7-grade core)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 meter
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Connectors: RJ45 with gold-plated contacts; one connector fitted with sealing grommet for IP67 use
• Outer sheath material: PUR (abrasion- and oil-resistant)

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your devices, ensuring the sealed grommet end is used where a dust- or water-resistant connection is required. Verify link speed and duplex settings on linked devices if automatic negotiation does not select 10 Gbit/s. Avoid sharp bends and heavy mechanical strain on the cable and connectors to maintain signal integrity and prolong service life.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short patch runs up to 1 m in high-speed networking environments; for permanent outdoor installations, consider additional environmental protection despite the oil- and abrasion-resistant PUR jacket. Keep connector contacts clean and avoid repeated harsh mechanical stress on the sealed connector to preserve IP67 functionality.
