Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8560BL.1,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 1.5 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8560BL.1,5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable with a length of 1.5 m in blue. It uses the Cat6a standard and S/FTP (S-STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and reduced corrosion, making the cable suitable for short runs between devices in home, office, or server room environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S-STP) shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives, supporting stable high-speed connections. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact quality and resistance to oxidation. The 1.5 m length keeps cable clutter to a minimum for close-proximity connections while the Cat6a standard supports modern network equipment requirements. The blue jacket offers visual identification within structured cabling setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and network devices over short distances
• Patch connections in small server racks and patch panels
• Home and office wired Ethernet setups where shielded cabling is preferred
• Environments requiring clear cable color coding for cable management

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Length: 1.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Color: Blue

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device and the other to the corresponding port on your switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and keep it away from major sources of electrical noise where possible. For patch panel installations, verify port numbering and color coding before final routing.

Recommendations

For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension on the cable, and keep it separated from high-voltage power lines. Use the blue color for visual organization within a structured cabling system and choose an appropriate cable length to minimize excess slack.
