Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5546WS.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m White

Shielded RJ45 patch cable extension Cat.6A for transmissions according to ISO11801 for up to 10Gbit/s. The EFB Elektronik K5546WS.5 is a 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ45 patch cable extension in white designed to extend existing network cabling without re-routing or replacing installed lines. It is suitable for connecting devices with RJ45 interfaces and helps protect device connectors by acting as a sacrificial connection point in frequently connected and disconnected setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding and Cat6a specification support transmissions up to 10 Gbit/s in compliance with ISO11801, reducing electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors ensure reliable contact and low signal loss. Available in a 5 m length and white colour, the cable provides a tidy installation and lets you extend an existing Ethernet run without major changes.

Suitable for

• Extending existing Ethernet cabling to reach a relocated device
• Home office setups with frequent plugging and unplugging of laptops
• Connecting computers, notebooks, DSL modems, routers and switches
• Game consoles and network-capable TVs

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a, ISO11801 compliant
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Max. data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: White

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector of the extension into the existing wall/patch panel or cable end, then connect the other RJ45 connector to your device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Use the extension to place the strain of frequent connection cycles on the extension rather than on the device's built-in socket.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight cable bends and keep the cable away from strong electromagnetic sources (large motors, unshielded power lines). If connecting multiple segments, maintain Cat6a-compliant terminations and ensure total channel length does not exceed Ethernet maximums for your installation.
