Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8056.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Orange

Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8056.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Orange is a 2-metre Cat6A patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable uses S/FTP construction with PiMF (paired in metal foil) and AWG27/7 conductors, assembled into a 5.9 mm diameter LSZH jacket. Both ends are fitted with shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-5) and TIA/EIA 568B coding for standardised pinout. The cable is flame retardant and halogen-free, complying with IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2 and IEC 61034 standards, and includes a mounted strain relief boot with latch protection. The product is Class EA link certified by GHMT.

Advantages

The cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at frequencies up to 500 MHz, providing high data throughput and reduced crosstalk thanks to S/FTP shielding and PiMF construction. LSZH outer jacket reduces harmful halogen emissions in case of fire, while compliance with international flame and smoke standards ensures safer installations. Shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs and a mounted strain relief boot with latch protection contribute to reliable mechanical and electrical connections. Class EA link certification by GHMT confirms performance according to industry standards.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN backbones and server room connections
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between switches and servers
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity
• Installations where low-smoke, halogen-free cabling is preferred

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding network ports on your devices (switch, router, server or network interface). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages and the mounted strain relief boot is seated to prevent accidental disconnection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable length within recommended runs for fixed installations. Ground the shielded connectors according to your system’s grounding scheme when used in screened/networked environments.

Usage recommendations

For best results in high-speed environments, use this Cat6A cable for point-to-point links and structured cabling where Class EA performance is required. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference; maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter.
