Networking cable EFB Elektronik MK6001.5MA Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) Magenta 5 m, RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, gold contacts

EFB Elektronik MK6001.5MA is a 5 m Cat6a S/FTP (S‑STP) network cable in magenta with RJ‑45 connectors and gold‑plated contacts. The shielded construction supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and reduces electromagnetic interference, making it suitable for high‑speed LAN, server and workstation connections where a shielded cable is required. The moulded slim grommet eases insertion in confined spaces.

Advantages

The S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding provides effective protection against crosstalk and external interference, while Cat6a specification ensures stable transmission up to 10,000 Mbit/s. Gold‑plated contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The moulded slim grommet reduces strain and simplifies connector insertion in tight rack or patch panel environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet LAN links
• Server and switch connections in data centres
• Workstation and professional AV installations requiring shielded cabling
• Patch panels and racks with limited space for connector routing

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, servers or workstations. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to minimise sharp bends and avoid running parallel to heavy power lines to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in shielded installations, connect cable shields to grounded chassis or patch panels and avoid severing the shield. Use the cable for distances up to 100 m in structured cabling runs following Cat6a guidelines.
