Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5538SW.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5538SW.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black is a high-performance networking cable designed for wired Ethernet connections that require Gigabit and higher data rates. Constructed to Cat6a standards, the cable provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables. It features S/FTP shielding around twisted pairs to limit electromagnetic interference and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for consistent signal transmission. The 3 m length and black jacket make it suitable for both desktop and rack-mounted equipment where a reliable, low-loss connection is required.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers increased headroom for high-speed networks, supporting stable data transfer with reduced interference due to its S/FTP shielding. Gold-plated connectors enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance, improving long-term performance. The 3 m length balances reach and neat cable management in home, office, and server environments, while the black outer sheath provides a neutral appearance that integrates with most installs.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers for Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit-ready local networks
• Patch cabling in structured cabling panels, server racks and network closets
• Home office or small business wired networks where interference reduction is important
• Temporary or permanent workstation setups requiring a compact 3 m cable

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 3 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device (computer, switch, router or modem) and the other connector into the corresponding port on the destination device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it separated from heavy power lines and sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. For wall or rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in environments that require reliable high-speed connections and reduced interference. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables. For fixed installations, use proper strain relief and avoid running the cable parallel to mains power cables to minimize noise coupling.
