Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5538SW.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5538SW.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black is a shielded network cable designed for wired Ethernet connections that demand elevated transmission performance. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 plugs at both ends, this 10 metre black cable supports high-speed data transfer and reduces interference in crowded cabling environments. It is suitable for structured cabling runs in home offices, corporate networks, and media streaming setups where consistent throughput is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides individual foil-wrapped pairs plus an overall braid to minimise crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, which helps maintain stable signal quality over the full 10 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and reduce oxidation risk for longer connector life. The Cat6a specification ensures support for higher bandwidth applications compared with lower category cables, making this cable suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet at appropriate distances. The black jacket offers a discreet appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktops, laptops or network switches in home and office networks
• Wiring high-bandwidth devices such as NAS, servers and media players
• Structured cabling runs in small server rooms and network cabinets
• Streaming high-definition video and online gaming with reduced packet loss

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a (augmented category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: black
• Typical application: Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over recommended distances

How to use

Route the cable between the two network devices ensuring the path avoids tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert each RJ-45 plug fully into the device’s Ethernet port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. For fixed installations, use proper cable management such as cable ties or trays to prevent strain on the connectors. Test the link speed and signal integrity after installation using network diagnostics or link status indicators on connected hardware.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii above the manufacturer’s minimum specification. Use shielded patch panels and compatible shielded connectors when integrating into a shielded infrastructure to preserve the S/FTP effectiveness.
