Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8560OR.40 — Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP), RJ-45 naar RJ-45, 40 m, oranje

EFB Elektronik K8560OR.40 is a 40 m Cat6a network cable with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed copper Ethernet, the cable supports data rates up to 10 000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and reduce corrosion. The orange outer jacket provides clear visual identification in rack, patch panel, or floor-level installations, simplifying cable management in complex IT environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shield design combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs, offering strong protection against external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Category 6a construction enables 10GBASE-T operation over the specified length while maintaining consistent signal integrity. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve conductivity and contact lifespan. The bright orange sheath increases visibility for organized routing and reduces time spent locating specific runs in multi-cable installations.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks (10GBASE-T) within data centers and server rooms
• Structured cabling between switches, patch panels and workstations
• High-density LAN installations where clear cable identification is required
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is recommended

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 40 m
• Maximum supported data rate: 10 000 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Jacket color: orange
• Intended use: Ethernet twisted-pair copper cabling

How to use

Route the cable between endpoints, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong continuous heat. Insert the RJ-45 plugs fully into compatible ports until the latch clicks. For structured cabling, label both ends to match patch panel and switch ports. When installing in high-density racks, maintain bend radius recommendations and secure the cable to cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors. Test the link with an appropriate network tester after installation to verify performance and correct pair termination.

Recommendations

Use the Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded installations to ensure the shielding functions properly; connect shield termination points to equipment chassis or grounding conductors according to local cabling standards. Avoid running the cable in direct contact with high-voltage power lines and follow recommended bend radius and pull force limits during installation to maintain performance.
