Networking Cable EFB Elektronik MK7001.7,5O RJ-45 Cat6a 7.5m Orange

The EFB Elektronik MK7001.7,5O RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 7.5 m orange patch lead designed for high-speed Ethernet installations. Built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this cable supports 10GBase-T cabling technology and data transfer rates up to 10,000 Mbit/s. Its construction aims to maintain signal integrity and reduce interference in environments with dense cabling or nearby electrical equipment.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category patch cords, while S/FTP shielding provides protection against external electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resistance to corrosion over time. The 7.5 m length covers mid-range connections between switches, patch panels and workstations without excess slack, and the orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections (10GBase-T) in local area networks
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch links in rack installations
• Workstation connections requiring high data throughput and low interference
• Structured cabling where color-coding improves organization and identification

Key specifications

• Length: 7.5 m
• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Maximum data rate: up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Orange

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or network interface on a computer) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and excessive tension; keep it separated from power lines or strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to maintain order and prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that both connected devices and intermediate network equipment support 10GBase-T if 10 Gbit/s speeds are required. Regularly inspect connectors and cable jackets for damage and replace the cable if shielding or insulation is compromised. Use color-coded cabling schemes in larger installations to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
