Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8708RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 1 m patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to the Cat6a standard and supporting 10GBase-T, it delivers data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. The cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve signal transfer and contact longevity. The red outer sheath makes the cable easily identifiable in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers reliable 10GBase-T performance over a short run, with S/FTP shielding that protects against crosstalk and external noise. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure low resistance and consistent connectivity. The 1 m length suits connections between network devices in racks and desktop setups, and the red colour aids visual organisation and fault finding.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network interface cards in server racks
• High-speed desktop or workstation connections
• Patch panels and structured cabling within data closets
• Environments where cable identification and colour coding are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Supported standard: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices until the latch clicks. Use this 1 m cable for short connections between switches, routers, network interface cards or patch panels. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to preserve the internal shielding and conductor integrity. For best performance, keep the cable separated from large power cables and strong electromagnetic sources.

Recommendations

For optimum 10GBase-T performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs up to recommended lengths for the environment and maintain proper rack management to minimise bend radius and mechanical strain. Colour-code patch cables consistently to speed up troubleshooting and maintenance.
