Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708GR.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8708GR.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Grey is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed wired LAN connections. Built to Cat6a specification, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference to maintain signal integrity, while the 1 m length and grey jacket provide a compact, unobtrusive option for patching, connecting devices or short links within rack or desktop environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting more consistent throughput in environments with multiple adjacent cables or electrical noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance for longer connector life. The Cat6a standard allows for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over short runs and backward compatibility with lower category ports, while the 1 m length simplifies cable management in dense setups.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels
• Connecting desktop computers, VoIP phones and networked printers
• Server rack short links and cabinet cross-connects
• Home or office networks requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually screened pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 1 m
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 plug firmly into the device or patch panel Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Use the cable to connect network devices such as switches, routers, workstations or patch panels for local area networking. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling and keep the run clear of strong electromagnetic sources where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal signal quality, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium runs within racks or between nearby network devices. When deploying in areas with potential interference, ensure proper grounding of connected equipment and avoid bundling with high-voltage power lines. Replace damaged or excessively worn cables to maintain network reliability.
