Ethernet patch cable Bachmann CAT6a RJ45 5 m — Cat6a, RJ-45 connectors, nickel-plated contacts, 10 Gbps

Shielded Bachmann Ethernet patch cable Cat6a, black, 5 m length, designed for high-speed wired networks and compliant with Cat6a performance. The cable meets IEC 61156-6 and supports data rates up to 10 Gbps. One end is fitted with an RJ45 Hirose TM12 Cat6a plug featuring a kink protection nozzle and an unlocking tongue; the other end uses a Cat6a TKM 10 Gb keystone socket. Nickel-plated contacts ensure stable electrical connection.

Advantages

The shielded design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity at high data rates. The RJ45 Hirose TM12 plug includes a kink protection nozzle and unlocking tongue for secure connections and easier handling. Conformity to IEC 61156-6 and Cat6a specifications ensures compatibility with 10 Gbps networks and professional installation standards.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and NAS in home or office networks
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps
• Wall plates or patch panels using keystone sockets
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to minimise interference

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (IEC 61156-6)
• Length: 5 m
• Data rate: up to 10 000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Connectors: RJ45 Hirose TM12 Cat6a plug (with kink protection nozzle and unlocking tongue) — Cat6a TKM 10 Gb keystone socket
• Contacts: nickel-plated
• Shielding: shielded cable
• Colour: black

How to use

Insert the RJ45 Hirose TM12 plug into an Ethernet port on a switch, router or network device until the unlocking tongue clicks. Mount the keystone socket into a compatible wall plate or patch panel and connect the corresponding jack. Ensure cable routing avoids excessive bending and mechanical stress; the kink protection nozzle helps reduce strain at the plug end. Verify network link at both ends after installation.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this shielded Cat6a patch cable in properly grounded installations and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for horizontal or patch connections. Avoid tight bends and strong mechanical pressure near the connectors.
