Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K5545BL.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m blauw

The EFB Elektronik K5545BL.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m, blue cable engineered for high-speed wired connections in home and office networks. Built to Cat6a specifications, it supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses U/FTP (STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing stable signal transmission over its 5-m length.

Advantages

The Cat6a standard enables reliable 10 Gbps performance suitable for demanding network applications. U/FTP (foil-shielded twisted pairs with an overall braid) minimizes susceptibility to external noise and internal pair-to-pair interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact quality and resist corrosion, while the 5 m length gives flexibility in device placement without excessive cable slack. The blue jacket makes identification and cable management easier in mixed-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops, switches and routers within small office or home networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as video streaming, large file transfers and online gaming
• Patch connections in structured cabling or network racks where 5 m is an appropriate reach
• Environments requiring reduced interference, such as near other electrical equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Data transfer rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall protection)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 5 m
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device (router, switch or computer) and the other connector into the corresponding port of the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and strong mechanical pressure to maintain signal integrity. For installations near other cabling or electrical devices, position the cable to reduce parallel runs with power lines and large current-carrying conductors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6a cable for links up to 5 m within local network segments and combine with compatible Cat6a-compliant hardware. Avoid excessive twisting or kinking and keep connector contacts free of debris. When deploying in high-interference areas, maintain separation from unshielded power cabling and consider additional cable management to prevent stress on connectors.
