Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708GR.15 RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8708GR.15 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 15 m grey cable designed for high-speed wired connections in structured LAN environments. Compliant with Cat6a performance, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain reliable contact and reduce corrosion over time.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification provides enhanced bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables, enabling reliable operation for high-throughput applications. S/FTP shielding around individual pairs and the overall bundle minimizes crosstalk and external interference, improving stability in environments with multiple cable runs or nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer durable contact surfaces for repeated insertions and reduced risk of oxidation, while the 15 m length allows flexible placement of devices without additional couplers.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections in offices and homes requiring up to 10 Gbps speeds
• Connecting switches, patch panels and wall sockets within a structured cabling system
• Server rooms and network closets where shielding and reduced interference are important
• High-definition video streaming, VoIP phones and other latency-sensitive applications

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 15 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around each pair and overall braid/shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Identify the network ports on your devices and plug the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports until they click. Route the 15 m cable to avoid tight bends and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to limit interference. For structured installations, terminate each end at the appropriate patch panel, switch or wall jack following standard wiring schemes. Verify link lights on connected devices and run a network speed or cable test if necessary to confirm performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise and avoid sharp bends or kinks. Use the cable within typical indoor temperature and humidity ranges, and ensure connectors are fully seated in ports. When deploying in permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or ties without compressing the cable shielding.
