Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8048PUI5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Black Red

The EFB Elektronik K8048PUI5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m is a high-performance networking cable designed for reliable wired connections. With a 5-meter length and Cat6a standard, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for 10GBase-T cabling technology. The S/FTP shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference, while gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion. The cable is finished in black with red accents to blend into professional or home network setups.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T compatibility enable stable high-speed data transmission for demanding network environments. S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity over the 5 m length. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and longer service life compared with unplated contacts. The 5 m length offers flexibility in typical office or home arrangements while the black and red design helps visually identify the connection.

Suitable for

• High-speed LAN connections and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Server rooms, switches, routers and patch panels
• Home offices and multimedia streaming setups
• Workstations requiring low-interference wired connections

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Standard: Cat6a
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with braided shield on pairs or overall) — provides protection against EMI and crosstalk
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Colour: Black with red accents

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (router, switch, or network interface card) and the other end to the corresponding port on the remote device. Ensure both connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas of strong electromagnetic interference for optimal performance. For installation in rack environments, use cable management to prevent excessive tension on the connectors.

Recommendations

For best results, use the cable for runs up to 5 m within a single room or between adjacent racks. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and maintain gentle bend radii to preserve shielding and internal pair geometry. Periodically inspect connectors for debris and replace the cable if physical damage or performance degradation is observed.
