Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8708BL.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8708BL.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m blue cable designed for high-performance Ethernet connections. Compliant with the Cat6a standard, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and gold-plated contacts to improve conductivity and connection reliability in wired networks.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides stable, high-speed transmission suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications and latency-sensitive tasks. S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer corrosion resistance and consistent signal contact. The 5 m length balances reach and manageability for patching between network devices, and the blue jacket makes it easy to identify in structured cabling runs.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices and data rooms
• Connection between switches, routers and servers
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, virtualization and backups
• Structured cabling and patch panels in small to medium networks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a (augmented category 6)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends with gold-plated contacts
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Colour: blue

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or wall outlet) and the other end to the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the clip engages to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and excessive tension; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve performance. For permanent installations, use proper cable management such as cable ties and patch panels to reduce strain and interference.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for links requiring up to 10 Gbit/s throughput and environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is important. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines and keep distance from large electrical equipment to maintain signal integrity.
