Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8580SW.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Black

The EFB Elektronik K8580SW.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m black patch cable designed for high-speed wired connections. Compliant with the Cat6a specification, this cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. It is equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, S/FTP shielding for reduced electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated contacts to improve contact reliability and resist corrosion. The durable outer jacket and standard length make it suitable for home, office, and server-room cabling where a reliable wired connection is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding construction reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable high-throughput communication. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts provide improved conductivity and corrosion resistance for consistent signal transmission over time. The 5 m length balances reach and cable management, while the black jacket offers a neutral appearance that integrates into most environments.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between computers, switches and routers
• High-speed network segments requiring Cat6a performance
• Home offices and small business workstations
• Patch panels and structured cabling in server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil with braided overall or pair shielding as indicated)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: black

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of your device (computer, switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector to the corresponding network port on the remote device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For structured installations, use appropriate cable management and labeling to maintain order and ease troubleshooting.

Recommendations

For best performance, terminate and connect the cable directly into compatible Cat6a-capable equipment and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the outer jacket or connectors show wear that could affect signal integrity.
