Verkkokaapeli EFB Elektronik K8708OR.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2 m oranssi

The EFB Elektronik K8708OR.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Orange is a 2-meter network patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. It conforms to the Cat6a standard and uses S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs improve signal transfer and corrosion resistance, while the orange jacket provides clear identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable delivers support for high data rates and improved crosstalk performance compared with lower-category cables. The S/FTP shielding (shielded overall with individually shielded pairs) reduces external and pair-to-pair interference, making the cable suitable for environments with multiple adjacent cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure durable, low-resistance connections and consistent performance over repeated insertions. The bright orange outer sheath makes physical tracing and port identification easier during installation and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and office networks
• Structured cabling runs where shielded cables are recommended
• Server racks, patch panels, and network switches requiring reliable short-link cabling
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Length: 2 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Orange jacket for easy identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the orange colour to mark and document connection points in patch panels or wall outlets.

Recommendations

For installations requiring consistent high-speed throughput, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short links up to the specified channel length of your network design. When running multiple shielded cables, ensure proper grounding of shielded connectors and patch panels to maintain shielding effectiveness. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if the jacket or contacts are damaged.
