Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8670.3 Red 3m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8670.3 is a 3 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ45 patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Manufactured in Europe, the cable combines Draka UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR bare cable and Hirose TM21 connectors, with one TM21 connector fitted with a special grommet for IP67-compatible use. The PUR outer sheath provides high abrasion resistance and resistance to mineral and ASTM oils.

Advantages

The cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and complies with Cat6a performance requirements. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable signal transmission. The PUR jacket increases mechanical durability and offers oil resistance for industrial environments. One IP67-capable connector enables use in protected outdoor or harsh indoor locations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Server rooms and network racks
• Industrial and factory networks where oil resistance and abrasion resistance are needed
• Outdoor or damp locations requiring IP67 connector protection (on one end)
• Home and office network patching where a visible colored cable is desired

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into corresponding Ethernet ports on networking equipment such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure the IP67-protected connector is used in environments where moisture or dust ingress is a concern; secure the mating connector or enclosure as required to maintain protection. For best performance, avoid tight bends and maintain recommended minimum bend radius for Cat6a cables.

Recommendations

For optimal signal performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. When using the IP67-capable end outdoors or in damp locations, verify that the mating connector or housing is properly sealed to preserve protection. Inspect the PUR jacket for damage before installation in abrasive or oil-exposed environments.
