Network Cable Sharkoon Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5 meters black

The Sharkoon patch network cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5 meters black is a high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. It meets Cat.7a specifications and is equipped with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and standard RJ-45 connectors. At 5 meters in length and finished in black, the cable is suitable for linking routers, switches, PCs, NAS devices and other networked equipment where stable high-speed data transfer and reduced electromagnetic interference are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides enhanced protection against near-end crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity in densely cabled environments. Compliance with Cat.7a performance means the cable supports higher bandwidths and is suitable for advanced networking applications. Robust RJ-45 plugs ensure secure mating with standard Ethernet ports while the 5 m length balances reach and neat cable management. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance for home and office installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and patch panels in small offices or home networks
• High-bandwidth tasks such as streaming, large file transfers and online gaming
• Wiring to NAS devices, desktop PCs and media players
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7a
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded overall with individually foiled twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your router, switch or modem and the other connector into the network device you wish to connect. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and areas with strong sources of interference. For installations through cable channels or behind furniture, check that the 5 m length provides the required reach before final routing.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for indoor use and should be kept away from heat sources and sharp edges. For optimal performance, avoid kinking the cable and do not exceed the recommended bend radius. When connecting high-speed equipment, verify port and device settings to match desired link speeds and duplex modes.
