Networking Cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.10BL RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.10BL RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Blue networking cable is a shielded S/FTP Ethernet cable designed to support high-speed 10GBase-T networks over a 10 metre run. It delivers up to 10000 Mbit/s data transfer and uses gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for improved contact reliability and reduced signal loss. The blue outer jacket provides clear identification in structured cabling environments and is suitable for both home and small office network installations.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a specification ensures stable performance at frequencies required for 10GBase-T, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors enhance corrosion resistance and consistent connectivity. A 10 m length offers flexibility in placing devices without the need for additional patching points.

Suitable for

• 10GBase-T network links between switches, routers and servers within 10 m
• High-bandwidth home media servers, NAS and desktop connections
• Office workstations and VoIP phones in structured cabling runs
• Network testing and temporary installations where a reliable shielded cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your switch, router or network device and the other end to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to provide secure contact. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and close proximity to strong electrical sources; the S/FTP shielding offers protection but good cable routing further reduces potential interference. For rack installations, use proper cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short runs up to 10 m where 10G performance and reduced interference are required. Avoid sharp bends (minimum bend radius as recommended by standards), keep the cable away from power cables where possible, and inspect connector seating after installation to ensure optimal throughput and reliability.
