Verkkokaapeli EFB Elektronik K8066.15 — Cat6 S/FTP (S-STP), RJ-45–RJ-45, 15 m, harmaa

EFB Elektronik K8066.15 is a 15 m Cat6 network patch cable with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The grey-jacketed cable is made for wired LAN connections and structured cabling where Gigabit Ethernet performance and improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) are required. Its shielded design reduces crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable data transmission over longer cable runs within offices, server rooms and home networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) construction combines an overall braid shield with individually foiled pairs to provide enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and near-end crosstalk. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and higher frequency bandwidths compared with lower-category cables. RJ‑45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with switches, routers, network interface cards and patch panels. The 15 m length provides flexibility for typical workspace layouts while the grey jacket offers a neutral appearance suitable for visible cable runs.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch or switch to workstation links
• Server room and data cabinet horizontal cabling
• Environments with elevated electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braided shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Connector type: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Length: 15 m
• Jacket colour: grey
• Suitable data rates: Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE‑T) and lower
• Conductor arrangement: twisted pairs

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the network device (router, switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other plug to the destination device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic fields; maintain bend radius recommended for Ethernet cabling to preserve performance. For permanent structured installations, use appropriate cable management such as cable ties and patch panels to prevent mechanical stress on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable in shielded or mixed environments where interference may affect network stability. When connecting to shielded devices or metal patch panels, ensure proper grounding of the overall system to make full use of the cable’s shielding. Avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and replace the cable if the connector latch or jacket shows visible damage.
