Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8560OR.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m oranje

The EFB Elektronik K8560OR.5 is a 5 m Cat6a patch cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks. It uses shielded Hirose TM31 RJ45 plugs (IEC 60603-7-51) and an S/FTP conductor structure (4 x 2 x AWG27/7, PiMF) with a jacket diameter of 5.9 mm. The cable is TIA/EIA 568B coded and meets flame retardant and low-halogen standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034). A mounted strain relief boot with latch protection is included to secure the connector.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for reliable 10GBase-T performance. Hirose TM31 shielded RJ45 plugs ensure secure, standardized connector interfaces. Compliance with flame retardant and low-smoke, halogen-free standards improves onsite safety. The orange jacket provides easy visual identification in cable bundles and the fitted strain relief boot protects the connector and latch during handling.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet (10GBase-T) links
• Data centers and server racks
• High-speed office and campus networks
• Patch panels and switch uplinks

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a, 500 MHz
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: 2 x Hirose TM31 RJ45 shielded (IEC 60603-7-51)
• Cable type: S/FTP, 4 x 2 x AWG27/7, PiMF, Ø = 5.9 mm
• Coding: TIA/EIA 568B

How to use

Connect each RJ45 plug to the corresponding port on network devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid excessive pulling on the jacket; the mounted strain relief boot assists in reducing stress at the connector. Use TIA/EIA 568B wiring scheme where required for compatibility with existing infrastructure.

Recommendations

For best performance, keep cable runs within standard horizontal cabling limits for Cat6a, avoid running parallel to large power cables for long distances, and verify connections with a cable tester supporting Cat6a/10G to ensure signal integrity.
