LANBERG Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 networking cable PCF6A-10CC-0500-BK, 5 m, LSZH, 26 AWG, CCA, black

LANBERG PCF6A-10CC-0500-BK Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 5 m black is a 5-metre straight-through network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable conforms to Cat6a performance, features S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic and crosstalk interference, and is terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its black outer jacket and flexible construction make it suitable for visible and concealed cable runs in home, office and data-centre environments where stable, shielded links are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP (overall foil with individually foiled twisted pairs) shielding provides enhanced protection against external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity over longer runs and in electrically noisy environments. Cat6a specification support enables reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance at appropriate distances. The use of standard RJ-45 terminations ensures compatibility with most network devices such as switches, routers and NICs. The 5 m length strikes a balance between reach and manageability, while the black jacket offers discreet installation in racks and along walls.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and servers within racks and network cabinets
• Wiring desktop workstations and office equipment to a local network
• Short runs in data-centre aisles and patch panels requiring shielded cabling
• Home network setups where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Configuration: Straight-through cable
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the LANBERG Cat6a cable between network devices ensuring the connectors are fully inserted into the RJ-45 ports until they click. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding. For best performance in shielded installations, ensure both ends are connected to devices or patch panels with appropriate grounding to maintain the shield continuity. Use cable management elements such as ties and guides to prevent strain and maintain clearance from high-power electrical cables.

Recommendations

Install in environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important; maintain proper grounding for the shielding, keep bend radius greater than the cable diameter times four, and avoid running alongside mains power cables to preserve optimal signal quality.
