Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8708SW.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m Black is a high-performance network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. Engineered for 10GBase-T networks, this Cat6a cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a robust black jacket ensure durable, low-resistance contacts and a neat, unobtrusive look within structured cabling setups.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T compatibility provide a balance of high bandwidth and backwards compatibility with lower-speed Ethernet. S/FTP shielding offers improved protection in environments with potential external interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors promote stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Its 1 m length facilitates short-distance links between devices such as switches, patch panels and workstations without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connection between network switches and patch panels in racks
• Linking desktop PCs, NAS devices or servers to local switches
• High-speed data transfer for multimedia streaming and backups
• Wired connections in office, studio or lab setups with potential EMI

Key specifications

• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T (Cat6a)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 1 m
• Product colour: Black

How to use

Identify the two devices you need to connect and insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Ensure both network endpoints are powered and configured appropriately for 10GBase-T operation if you require maximum throughput. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with heavy electromagnetic sources; secure it with cable ties or management panels as needed to maintain a tidy installation.

Recommendations

For stable performance, use this Cat6a cable for short interconnects (such as switch-to-switch or switch-to-server) and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Verify that connected equipment supports S/FTP and 10GBase-T speeds when planning high-bandwidth applications. Store and handle connectors carefully to prevent damage to gold-plated contacts.
