Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708GR.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Grey

The EFB Elektronik K8708GR.2 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 2 m grey cable designed for wired network connections that require Cat6a performance. It features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and stable conductivity. The cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is intended for structured cabling where higher bandwidth and reduced crosstalk are needed.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction provides separated foil and braid layers to protect individual pairs and the overall cable against external noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 plug contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure a consistent electrical connection. As a Cat6a cable, it is engineered to maintain performance at higher frequencies and to support faster Ethernet standards while remaining flexible enough for typical office and home installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in short to medium runs
• Workstation and server networking where Cat6a performance is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference
• Patch panels, switches and routers with RJ-45 ports

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 (both ends)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individual pair foil)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device such as a switch, router or network interface on a computer, and the other end to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and places with heavy mechanical stress; maintain separation from strong electrical sources where possible to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs up to the recommended structured cabling distances for 10 Gigabit Ethernet, avoid excessive bending radius, and terminate into properly rated RJ-45 jacks or patch panels to maintain shielding continuity.
