Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8670.2 Red 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8670.2 is a 2 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ45 patch cable designed for reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Manufactured in Europe from high-quality components — Draka UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR cable and Hirose TM21 connectors — it combines shielded pairs and robust connectors to support high-speed data transmission in demanding environments. One connector features a mounted anti-kink grommet and a special grommet that enables IP67-capable sealing on that end. The outer PUR sheath is highly abrasion-resistant and offers resistance to mineral oil and ASTM oils. The cable construction uses a 4 x 2 x AWG27/7 cross section and operates across a temperature range of -35°C to +75°C.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat6a performance suitable for 10 Gbps networks with S/FTP shielding for reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity. European manufacturing and the combination of a Draka Cat.7 core and Hirose TM21 connectors ensure consistent build quality. The PUR outer sheath increases mechanical durability and chemical resistance, while the IP67-capable grommet on one connector allows dust- and splash-protected connections when mated with compatible housings.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office and data center environments
• Industrial and outdoor applications requiring oil and abrasion resistance
• Secure, shielded connections where reduced EMI and crosstalk are needed

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports on network devices. Ensure the connector with the IP67-capable grommet is used with compatible sealed housings or couplers when dust or water protection is required. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable’s bend radius and secure the cable to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices if auto-negotiation does not reach the expected 10 Gbps throughput.

Recommendations

For stable 10 Gigabit performance, use the cable in shielded network environments and maintain proper grounding of connected equipment. For outdoor or industrial deployments, pair the IP67-capable connector with compatible sealed enclosures and avoid prolonged exposure to direct UV without additional protection.
