EFB Elektronik K3130.1,5 Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable, 1.5m, RJ-45, Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.1,5 is a high-performance Cat6a networking cable engineered to provide reliable and fast data transmission for demanding network environments. With a length of 1.5 meters, this patch cable is designed to support speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an excellent choice for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. It utilizes high-quality components, including a robust Cat7 raw cable base and precision-engineered connectors, ensuring consistent performance and signal integrity for professional and home office setups.

Advantages

This networking cable offers superior protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its S/FTP shielding, which effectively isolates the internal data pairs. The inclusion of gold-plated connector contacts ensures long-term durability and optimal electrical conductivity, reducing the risk of signal degradation over time. Furthermore, the cable features a durable PUR outer sheath that provides enhanced resistance to environmental factors, allowing for versatile use in various settings, including semi-outdoor environments where standard cables might fail.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area networks
• Server room and data center connections
• Professional office network installations
• Connecting workstations to switches or routers
• Applications requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance

This cable may not be suitable for applications requiring direct burial in the ground, as it is not specifically rated for underground installation. Additionally, for extremely long-distance network runs, a 1.5-meter cable will be insufficient, and users should consider structured cabling solutions for distances exceeding the standard patch cable limits.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Length: 1.5 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 straight male to RJ-45 straight male
• Contact plating: Gold
• Cable construction: 4 x 2 x AWG26/7
• Outer sheath material: PUR
• Integrated anti-kink grommet

To use the EFB Elektronik K3130.1,5, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a computer, switch, or router, until you hear a secure click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at extreme angles near the connector to maintain the integrity of the internal wiring. The integrated anti-kink grommet helps protect the cable at the connection point, but it is still recommended to avoid excessive tension or pulling on the cable during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required cable length for your specific setup to ensure 1.5 meters is sufficient.
• Check that your networking equipment supports Cat6a or higher standards to fully utilize the 10 Gbit/s speed.
• Confirm the space available behind your equipment to accommodate the connector and the anti-kink grommet.

Usage recommendations: While the PUR sheath allows for outdoor use, avoid exposing the cable to direct sunlight or moisture for extended periods if possible. Always ensure the connectors are clean and free of dust before plugging them into your hardware to maintain optimal signal quality.
