Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8670.5 Red 5m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8670.5 is a 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ45 patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. Manufactured in Europe from Cat.7 raw cable UC900 SS27 Cat.7 PUR and fitted with Hirose TM21 connectors, the cable combines high data rates with robust materials. One TM21 connector is equipped with a special grommet for IP67 use, and the PUR outer sheath provides high abrasion resistance and resistance to mineral and ASTM oils.

Advantages

The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts improve signal reliability and corrosion resistance. The PUR jacket increases mechanical durability and provides oil resistance, while the IP67-capable connector enables use in harsh or partly exposed environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Industrial or workshop environments with exposure to oils
• Outdoor or equipment-mounted applications requiring IP67 on one connector
• Server rooms, switches, and patch panels needing S/FTP shielding

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, routers or network interface cards. Ensure the IP67-equipped connector is properly seated and the grommet is engaged when used in environments requiring moisture or dust protection. Avoid sharp bends near the connectors and do not exceed the recommended installation bend radius for Cat6a cables to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded network setups and avoid routing parallel to high-power electrical cables. Inspect connectors and jacket for damage before installation when deploying in oily or abrasive environments.
