Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8580RT.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m rood

The EFB Elektronik K8580RT.3 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable in red is a 3 m patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with the Cat6a specification, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses RJ-45 connectors on both ends with gold-plated contacts. The cable features S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, delivering stable performance in environments with multiple networked devices.

Advantages

The cable combines Cat6a performance with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to provide reliable signal transmission and improved contact durability. Its 3 m length offers flexibility for typical desktop and rack connections while the red jacket makes cable identification and visual organization easier in patch panels and structured cabling. The construction is intended for stable Ethernet performance at high data rates.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between desktop PCs, switches and routers
• Patch panel and rack installations requiring clearly identifiable cabling
• High-bandwidth applications such as file transfer, streaming and VoIP within local networks
• Environments where reduced interference and improved signal integrity are needed

Key specifications

• Cable length: 3 m
• Standard: Cat6a
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 — both ends
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Shielding: S/FTP (S‑STP)
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on network devices such as a router, switch or computer. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and minimize proximity to strong electrical noise sources. For patch panel installation, use the cable to link ports between switches and patch panels according to your network layout.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends and excessive stretching; maintain standard bend radii and keep the cable away from mains power cables to reduce interference. Use the red colour for visual management in multi-cable installations and replace the cable if connectors or shielding show visible damage.
