Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5546WS.3 RJ-45 Cat6a 3m White

The EFB Elektronik K5546WS.3 is a 3 m shielded RJ45 Cat.6A patch cable extension designed for transmissions up to 10 Gbit/s according to ISO11801. It features S/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts for reliable electrical performance and reduced interference. Use this white Cat6a extension to lengthen an existing installed network cable or to protect device RJ45 ports by placing the extension between the device and a permanently installed cable.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, supporting stable high-speed data transfer. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide good contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The 3 m length offers flexibility to bridge gaps without replacing pre-routed cabling, and the universal RJ45 connectors make the cable compatible with standard network devices.

Suitable for

• Extending existing Ethernet installations in offices and homes
• Connecting computers, notebooks and networked TVs
• Linking DSL modems, routers and switches
• Protecting device RJ45 sockets in home office setups

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat.6A (ISO11801), up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 3 m
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector of the extension into the existing wall or patch panel cable and plug the other connector into your device’s RJ45 port. For protecting device sockets, connect the extension to the device first and then to the fixed cable; this places mechanical wear on the extension connector instead of the device port. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve proper shielding continuity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and long runs near high-power electrical equipment. Use the shielded extension in conjunction with shielded cabling and properly grounded network components to maintain effective interference protection.
