Networking Cable EFB Elektronik DCK1001GR.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Grey

The EFB Elektronik DCK1001GR.5 is a 5 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable with illuminated RJ45 plugs designed for high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10 Gbit/s. The cable has shielded 2 x RJ45 IEC 60603-7 connectors and a stranded AWG27/7 conductor construction in a paired foil (PiMF) S/FTP layout, with an outer diameter of 5.7 mm. The LSZH jacket is flame-retardant and compliant with IEC60332-3, halogen-free IEC60754-2 and low smoke IEC61034 standards. A mounted strain relief with latch protection protects the connector and cable transition.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and PiMF pair design minimize electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable 10Gbit Ethernet transmission. Illuminated RJ45 plugs simplify locating and retracing the cable run in wiring ducts or behind equipment. The LSZH outer sheath reduces toxic gas emissions and smoke in case of fire, meeting relevant IEC safety standards. Shielded IEC 60603-7 connectors and a mounted strain relief provide mechanical stability and secure connections.

Suitable for

• 10Gbit Ethernet in data centers and server rooms
• High-performance LAN connections for switches and routers
• Structured cabling in office and commercial environments
• Situations where cable tracing or illumination of RJ45 is useful

Key specifications

• Conductor: S/FTP 4 x 2 x AWG27/7 PiMF
• Connector: 2 x RJ45, shielded, IEC 60603-7
• Outer diameter: Ø = 5.7 mm
• Jacket: LSZH (IEC60332-3, IEC60754-2, IEC61034)
• Additional: Illuminated RJ45 plugs, mounted strain relief with latch protection

How to use

Connect one illuminated RJ45 plug to your network device (switch, router or network card) and the other plug to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the illuminated feature to trace cable routing or to identify the cable in dense cable bundles. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling; install following standard structured cabling practices.

Recommendations

For optimal performance at 10Gbit/s, keep cable runs within recommended lengths for Cat6a installations and terminate using shielded ports and compatible grounding to preserve S/FTP shielding effectiveness.
