Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708RT.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8708RT.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Red cable is a shielded high-speed Ethernet lead designed for modern network environments. It conforms to the Cat6a standard and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce interference, supporting data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and compatible with 10GBase-T networks. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable electrical contact and improved resistance to corrosion while the 3 m length provides flexible routing between devices. The red jacket makes cable identification simple in crowded racks and workstations.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction combines overall foil with individually shielded pairs to limit crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs deliver consistent contact quality and longevity. The Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T support enable use in high-speed LANs, server rooms, and professional workstations. The visible red outer sheath assists with fast identification and organised cable management.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T network connections between switches, routers and servers
• High-bandwidth desktop connections for workstations and NAS devices
• Structured cabling in offices, data closets and server racks
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s
• Supported technology: 10GBase-T
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Outer colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the Ethernet port of your network device and the other plug to a switch, router or another device supporting the desired network speed. Ensure both endpoints support Cat6a and 10GBase-T where full 10 Gbit/s performance is required. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radius consistent with cable construction to preserve signal quality. For installations in high-interference areas, verify proper grounding of connected equipment where applicable.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in conjunction with shielded network ports and patch panels, and avoid running it parallel to power lines. Regularly inspect connectors for debris and ensure plugs are fully inserted to maintain reliable connections.
