Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560GN.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8560GN.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Green is a Category 6a network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. Constructed to support higher bandwidth and improved noise immunity, this 5 metre cable uses S/FTP-style shielding and dual RJ-45 terminations to provide stable connections for Ethernet devices. The green jacket identifies the cable visually while maintaining the electrical and mechanical properties expected from Cat6a cabling.

Advantages

The cable offers Cat6a performance suitable for 10GBASE-T over short distances and backward compatibility with 10/100/1000Base-T(X) equipment. S/FTP-style shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity in denser cable environments. Molded RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent mating, strain relief for connector durability, and a 5 m length that balances reach with minimal excess cable clutter.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within LANs
• High-speed data transfer between desktop computers and network equipment
• Structured cabling runs in small office or home office setups
• Temporary network setups or equipment reconfiguration where a visible color-coded cable helps identification

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your device and the other to a compatible network switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the latch engages to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and reduce strain on the connectors; avoid placing the cable near high-power electrical equipment that can be a source of interference. For best performance, keep overall run lengths within recommended distances for Cat6a installations.

Recommendations

For optimal signal performance, verify that both endpoints and intermediate network hardware support the required speeds. Use color-coding to simplify identification in multi-cable installations and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage that could affect signal quality.
