Networking cable EFB Elektronik 5.0m RJ-45 Cat6a Grey

The EFB Elektronik 5.0m RJ-45 Cat6a Grey network cable is a 10 Gigabit Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. It features S/FTP construction (4 x 2 x AWG27/7 PiMF) with shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs on both ends, supports TIA/EIA 568B wiring and meets flame retardant and low-halogen standards.

Advantages

The Cat.6A cable supports up to 10 Gbps and 500 MHz bandwidth while its S/FTP shielding and shielded TM21 RJ45 plugs reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable uses low-smoke, halogen-free materials and complies with IEC 60332-1 (flame retardant), IEC 60754-2 (halogen free) and IEC 61034 (low smoke) tests. A mounted strain relief boot with latch protection improves connector durability during installation and everyday use.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections (up to 10 Gbps)
• Server rooms and data centers
• Office and home networking where reliable shielded cabling is required
• Connecting switches, routers, NAS and workstations

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to your network device (switch, router, NAS or PC) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the network endpoint. Ensure both connectors click into place and that the mounted strain relief boot is seated to protect the latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep bend radius above the manufacturer’s minimum. Use shielded patch panels or shielded ports at both ends to maintain the shielding effectiveness.
