EFB Elektronik DCK1001GR.7,5 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable 7.5m Grey RJ-45

The EFB Elektronik Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a high-performance connectivity solution engineered for demanding data environments. With a length of 7.5 meters, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s, making it perfectly suited for 10GBase-T networking standards. A standout feature of this cable is the integrated LED illumination in the RJ-45 connectors, which allows for easy identification and traceability of cable runs within complex patch panels or server racks. The optical detection system functions up to a distance of 100 meters, simplifying maintenance and organization in professional IT infrastructures.

Advantages

This network cable offers superior signal integrity due to its advanced S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The inclusion of gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensures a durable and stable connection, reducing the risk of signal degradation over time. The unique LED-equipped plugs provide a significant operational advantage by allowing technicians to quickly locate both ends of a specific cable, thereby reducing downtime during troubleshooting or reconfiguration tasks. Its robust construction and high-speed capabilities make it a reliable choice for modern high-bandwidth applications.

Suitable for

• Professional server rooms and data centers
• High-speed office network installations
• 10GBase-T Ethernet environments
• Complex patch panel management
• Environments requiring rapid cable identification

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the most cost-effective solution for basic home networks that do not require 10Gbps speeds or advanced cable management features. Additionally, the specialized LED functionality requires a compatible detector to activate the lights, which may be unnecessary for simple, static setups where cable tracing is not a frequent requirement.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 with integrated LED
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Color: Grey

How to use

To utilize the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding network ports on your devices or patch panels. To take advantage of the traceability feature, use a compatible detector tool on the RJ-45 plugs to activate the LEDs. This will cause the lights on both ends of the cable to illuminate, allowing for clear visual identification of the cable path even in dense cabling environments.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat6a standards for optimal performance.
• Verify that you have access to a compatible LED detector if you intend to use the traceability feature.
• Measure the required distance to ensure 7.5 meters is sufficient for your specific layout.

Usage recommendations

For the best performance and longevity, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles and ensure that the connectors are fully seated in their ports. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage in high-traffic areas to maintain consistent signal quality.
