Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8670.10 Red 10 m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8670.10 is a 10 m Cat6a S/FTP networking patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Manufactured in Europe, it combines a Cat.7 raw cable (UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR) and Hirose TM21 RJ45 connectors with gold plating to ensure reliable high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s. One TM21 connector is fitted with a special grommet for IP67 use, and the highly abrasion-resistant PUR outer sheath provides resistance to mineral and ASTM oils.

Advantages

The cable construction with S/FTP shielding and Cat.7-grade inner cable delivers improved noise immunity and stable throughput for demanding network environments. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts reduce contact resistance and support consistent signal integrity. The PUR jacket increases mechanical durability and chemical resistance, while the IP67-capable connector on one end enables protected outdoor or harsh-environment connections.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet installations
• Industrial and factory network connections where oil resistance is required
• Outdoor or wet-environment patching when using the IP67 connector
• High-performance office and data center cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 10 m
• Standard: Cat6a (based on Cat.7 raw cable)
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Connectors: RJ45 Hirose TM21, gold-plated contacts
• Outer jacket: PUR, abrasion- and oil-resistant
• One connector with IP67 grommet
• Rated data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices or patch panels. Ensure the IP67 grommet-equipped connector is properly seated and tightened when used in wet or dusty conditions to maintain ingress protection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain; the PUR jacket improves resistance but standard cable handling practices should be followed to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For reliable 10 Gigabit performance, avoid excessive cable bending and keep cable runs within recommended maximum lengths for Ethernet. When deploying in industrial or outdoor settings, verify that both mating connector and installation meet the intended IP and environmental protection requirements.
