Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5546SW.10 RJ-45 Cat6a 10 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5546SW.10 is a 10 m shielded RJ-45 patch cable extension designed to Cat6a standards for transmissions up to 10 Gbit/s according to ISO11801. Featuring S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this black networking cable provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference and reliable contact for wired network connections. It is suitable for extending an existing Ethernet run without replacing the entire installed cable and for protecting device ports from wear caused by frequent plugging and unplugging.

Advantages

This Cat6a patch cable extension delivers high-speed performance up to 10 Gbit/s while maintaining signal integrity through S/FTP shielding. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and improve conductivity. The 10 m length offers flexibility to extend network connections in home, office or professional environments without rewiring. Its black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance and compatibility with common network installations.

Suitable for

• Extending existing Ethernet patch cables in offices and homes
• Connecting computers, notebooks and workstations to switches or routers
• Linking DSL modems, routers and network appliances
• Connecting game consoles, smart TVs and media devices to wired networks
• Protecting device RJ-45 ports from mechanical wear

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a, compliant with ISO11801
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil shielding per pair + overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Length: 10 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the existing wall outlet, patch panel or active device and the other RJ-45 connector into your end device, router or switch. Ensure connectors are seated firmly until the locking clip engages. The extension can be added inline between an installed cable and a device to increase reach or to serve as a sacrificial connection to protect device ports during frequent connections and disconnections. Avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong sources of electrical noise where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable for connections up to 10 Gbit/s within typical Cat6a installation limits and avoid tight cable loops or kinks. When installing in environments with heavy electromagnetic interference, verify shield continuity through connected equipment and use metal-bodied connectors or grounded patch panels where available.
