Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5547SW.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5547SW.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m black patch lead designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Compliant with the Cat6a standard and supporting 10GBase-T, this U/FTP (STP) shielded cable delivers data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and resistance to corrosion, while the robust jacket and shielding reduce external interference for stable signal transmission in both home and professional networks.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T compatibility provide support for demanding network applications and future-proof performance for higher bandwidth needs. U/FTP (STP) shielding minimizes crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, making the cable suitable for installations near other electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent connectivity and longer lifespan compared with standard plated connectors. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-switch or rack-to-equipment connections while the black jacket provides a discreet appearance in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data centers
• High-bandwidth media streaming and file transfers
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels, and network interface cards
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (near power lines or electronic equipment)

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (supports 10GBase-T)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall shielding)
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (switch, router, or network card) and the other connector to the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable and keep the cable length appropriate for the installation to reduce signal attenuation. If routing through cabinets or trays, maintain separation from large power cables where possible to further reduce interference.

Recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbit/s performance, use this Cat6a U/FTP cable for short to medium runs (such as desk-to-switch or within racks) and pair it with compatible shielded network equipment and properly grounded patch panels. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain a minimum bend radius as recommended by standard cabling practice.
