Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K3130.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K3130.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m black cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Compliant with the Cat6a standard, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and incorporates S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors are fitted at both ends to ensure reliable contact and resistance to corrosion, making the cable suitable for use in home, office, and small data center environments.

Advantages

Built to Cat6a specification, this cable provides enhanced bandwidth and improved signal integrity for 10 Gbit/s Ethernet over short to medium distances. The S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) design offers layered protection against external noise sources and internal pair-to-pair interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve connector longevity and maintain consistent connectivity. The black outer jacket presents a neutral, professional appearance and resists visible soiling in typical installation scenarios.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices and server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, online gaming, and large file transfers
• Connecting network switches, routers, patch panels, and workstations
• Cabled installations requiring reduced interference and stable signal quality

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a, S/FTP (shielded, foil shielding with individual pair shielding)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding network port on your devices, such as switches, routers, computers, or patch panels. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the latch. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive pulling, or compression that could damage the shield or conductor pairs. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power cables.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gbit/s performance, use the cable within recommended horizontal cabling lengths and avoid introducing additional inline splitters or adapters. When installing in structured cabling systems, label both ends and test continuity and attenuation with appropriate network testing tools to verify signal quality.
