Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708RT.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8708RT.2 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 2 m S/FTP cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Built to support 10GBase-T applications, it provides data transmission rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and incorporates gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The cable’s Cat6a specification and foil/shielded twisted-pair construction reduce electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for dense cabling environments where signal integrity is required. The red jacket also makes the cable easy to identify within patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding along with Cat6a grading ensures stable 10G performance over the 2 m length while limiting crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance long-term contact performance and lower the risk of connectivity issues. The 2 metre length offers flexibility for typical desktop, rack-to-equipment, or short-run installations without excess slack. A distinct red outer sheath facilitates visual identification and organized cable management.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network appliances in small office and home setups
• Patching between rack-mounted equipment and patch panels in data cabinets
• Short-run 10GBase-T links where Cat6a performance is required
• Environments that require color-coded cable management for easy identification

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cabling standard: Cat6a
• Transmission technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Outer colour: Red
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports of your devices, ensuring a secure click into place. For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep it separated from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as power transformers or unshielded power cables. Use the 2 m length for direct workstation-to-switch connections, patch panel links, or short equipment interconnects. Inspect connectors before installation to ensure contacts are clean and undamaged.

Recommendations

For sustained 10GBase-T performance, maintain proper cable routing and avoid sharp bends; adhere to standard installation practices and maintain clear separation from high-voltage power lines. Use color-coding in the rack or patch field to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
