Networking cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.15O RJ-45 Cat6a 15 m Orange

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.15O RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 15 m S/FTP patch cable engineered for high-speed wired networks. Designed for 10GBase-T environments, the cable uses Cat6a specification and shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external interference while maintaining consistent throughput. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and provides a reliable physical connection for switches, routers, servers and wall outlets. The bright orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction improves electromagnetic compatibility and lowers alien crosstalk compared with unshielded cable, which helps preserve signal integrity at 10 Gbit/s speeds over short to moderate runs. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs promote stable contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The 15 m length offers flexibility for connecting equipment across racks, desks and network closets without the need for intermediate couplers. The orange outer jacket provides visible color-coding for organized installations and quick fault tracing.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and servers in data cabinets
• Office network wiring where 10GBase-T or high Gigabit performance is required
• Home lab and small server room setups requiring shielded cabling
• Temporary or permanent runs where visible cable identification is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Data rate support: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Outer colour: Orange

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or network interface and the other into the destination device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure mechanical and electrical contact. Avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Cat6a to preserve performance. When routing the cable near sources of strong electromagnetic interference, use the shield termination points on compatible equipment to ensure the S/FTP shielding is effective.

Recommendations

For optimal 10GBase-T performance, keep permanent link lengths within standards for Cat6a and terminate shielding correctly at both ends. Use color-coded patching practices to separate traffic types and simplify maintenance. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of damage.
