Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8580GN.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8580GN.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5m Green is a 5-meter Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors. Designed for high-speed wired networks, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and provides stable connectivity for devices requiring reliable gigabit and 10-gigabit links. The green jacket helps visually identify the cable in structured cabling systems or home setups.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable combines S/FTP shielding for reduced electromagnetic interference with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts for consistent signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The 5 m length offers flexibility for desktop, rack, and wall-mounted equipment without excess slack. The cable's compliance with Cat6a performance parameters ensures suitable bandwidth for demanding network applications and future-proofed wired connections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network interfaces at distances up to 5 m
• High-speed LAN connections requiring gigabit and 10 Gbit/s throughput
• Server racks and patch panels in small office or home network installations
• Structured cabling where color-coded identification is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Green

How to use

Route the cable between network devices avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Insert the RJ-45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports until they click to ensure a secure connection. For patch panels or keystone jacks, verify port assignment and test connectivity after installation. If using cable management ducts or ties, leave a small service loop to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium runs up to 5 m and pair it with compatible Cat6a-rated hardware. Keep the cable away from mains power lines and strong EMI sources, and periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage to maintain reliable network throughput.
