Cable de red EFB Elektronik K8560WS.20 RJ-45 Cat6a 20 m blanco

The EFB Elektronik K8560WS.20 is a 20 m Cat6a patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. It uses shielded 2 x Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs and an S/FTP conductor structure (4 x 2 x AWG27/7 PiMF) with an overall diameter of 5.9 mm, meeting Cat6a and 500 MHz performance requirements. The cable is coded TIA/EIA 568B and constructed with low-smoke, halogen-free (LSZH) materials and flame-retardant properties according to IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 standards. A mounted strain relief boot with latch protection is included to secure connections and reduce mechanical stress.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides 10 Gbps data transfer capability and robust shielding (S/FTP) to minimise electromagnetic interference. The use of Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs ensures a secure, shielded connector interface compliant with IEC 60603-7-51. LSZH jacket and flame-retardant construction improve safety in indoor installations while the pre-fitted strain relief boot helps prevent connector damage and cable kinking.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN backbones and data centre horizontal cabling
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-switch 10GBase-T links
• Office and professional network environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling
• Environments needing shielded connections to reduce EMI

How to use

Connect each end of the cable to the RJ-45 ports of your network devices, ensuring the shielded plugs are properly seated and the strain relief boot is aligned to protect the latch. Use the cable for 10GBase-T links where both connected devices support 10 Gigabit Ethernet; fall back to lower speeds automatically when necessary. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and mechanical stress to preserve shielding and transmission performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended horizontal cabling limits, avoid tight bundles with power cables to reduce interference, and perform certification or testing after installation in critical network segments.
