Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708RT.10 Red 10 m Cat6a S/FTP

The EFB Elektronik K8708RT.10 Red 10 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is designed for stable high-speed Ethernet connections in office, home or data center environments. Complying with the Cat6a performance class, the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is constructed with S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance while the 10 m length provides flexible placement options. The red jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The Cat6a construction combined with S/FTP shielding provides improved signal integrity and allows reliable transmission at higher frequencies compared to lower category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance contact reliability and long-term performance in frequent plug/unplug scenarios. The 10 m length balances reach and signal quality for typical room-to-room or rack-to-rack connections. The colored jacket facilitates cable management and rapid identification in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbit/s Ethernet links within offices, server rooms and home networks
• Connections between switches, routers and networked devices over 10 m distance
• Structured cabling where reduced interference and clear identification are required
• Environments with multiple adjacent cables where S/FTP shielding mitigates crosstalk

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Nominal data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Jacket colour: Red

How to use

Route the EFB Elektronik Cat6a cable between desired network endpoints, avoiding sharp bends and tight cable ties to preserve shielding and pair geometry. Insert RJ-45 connectors fully into compatible ports until they click; ensure connectors are not forced into incompatible sockets. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources such as unshielded power lines and large motors. When installing in racks or patch panels, maintain recommended bend radii and avoid excessive tension on the cable.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, use the cable for direct device-to-switch links or within structured cabling runs under 10 meters where Cat6a specifications are maintained. Inspect connectors periodically for dirt or damage and replace if contact issues appear. When running multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of shields at appropriate termination points to maximize interference protection.
