Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5546SW.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3 m Black

Shielded RJ45 patch cable extension Cat.6A for transmissions according to ISO11801 for up to 10 Gbit/s. The EFB Elektronik K5546SW.3 is a 3 m Cat6a RJ-45 patch cable with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated connectors, designed to extend an existing network run without replacing the installed cable. It is suitable for connecting devices with RJ45 ports and helps protect device sockets by taking connection wear on the extension rather than on the device.

Advantages

The Cat6a construction and S/FTP shielding provide improved protection against external interference and support data rates up to 10 Gbit/s as specified by ISO11801. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and reduced signal loss. The 3 m black cable offers a practical extension length to bridge gaps created by room rearrangement and reduces strain on device sockets during frequent plug/unplug cycles.

Suitable for

• Extending an existing Ethernet patch cable when the original run is fixed or hard to replace
• Home office or office workstations with computers and notebooks
• Connecting DSL modems, routers and switches
• Game consoles, smart TVs and other RJ45-equipped consumer electronics

How to use

Plug one end of the extension into the wall-mounted or existing network patch cable and the other end into your device's RJ45 port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources. The extension can remain connected permanently or be used temporarily to protect device ports during frequent device changes.

Recommendations

Use the extension to minimize wear on device RJ45 sockets by connecting and disconnecting the extension instead of the device. For optimal signal integrity, maintain proper cable routing and avoid tight bends; if running near power cables or heavy machinery, increase separation to reduce interference.
