Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8708SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 2 m black cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a specifications and supporting 10GBase-T, it delivers data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s while S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference for stable signal transmission. The cable is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain reliable contact and resist corrosion over time.

Advantages

The Cat6a design provides improved crosstalk and noise reduction compared with lower-category cables, enabling consistent 10 Gbps performance for short to medium runs. S/FTP shielding surrounds individual pairs and the overall bundle to minimize external interference from nearby power lines or electronics. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure low contact resistance and durability for frequent plugging and unplugging. Its 2 m length and black finish offer a practical, discreet solution for desktop, rack, and home network setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed desktop and server connections requiring up to 10 Gbps
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS devices and network interface cards in small office and home networks
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important (near power equipment or dense cabling)
• Short to medium patching between wall outlets and network equipment

Key specifications

• Cabling standard: Cat6a (10GBase-T)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs and overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: black

How to use

Inspect both RJ-45 connectors and the cable for visible damage before use. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding network ports on your devices until you hear or feel the locking latch engage. For optimal 10 Gbps performance, connect compatible network interfaces and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat6a. Avoid tight bends, kinking, or running the cable parallel to strong power sources to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For reliable high-speed links, pair this Cat6a S/FTP cable with equipment that supports 10GBase-T and use shielded ports or grounded chassis where possible. When installing in dense cabling environments, maintain appropriate bend radius and secure the cable with non-compressive ties to prevent damage to the shielding and conductor geometry.
