Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8708GE.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m geel

The EFB Elektronik K8708GE.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable is a 5 m yellow patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a standard, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is shielded with S/FTP (S-STP) to reduce electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance while the bright yellow jacket improves visibility and cable management in structured networks.

Advantages

Shielding with S/FTP (S-STP) enhances signal integrity by protecting individual pairs and the overall cable against external noise. The Cat6a specification ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the cable length, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors deliver stable connectivity and longer contact life. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across racks, workstations, and network equipment without excess slack. The yellow jacket makes the cable easy to identify in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within offices, server rooms, and data centers
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch or switch-to-server connections
• Workstation networking where visible cable identification is required
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference for stable data transmission

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: S/FTP (S-STP)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 5 m
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router, server or workstation) and the other end to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure ports are powered down or that data transmissions are paused if you need to rearrange cabling in active systems. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical strain on connectors; secure with cable ties or management panels as needed. Verify link status on both devices after connection to confirm successful negotiation at the expected speed.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the S/FTP cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines; maintain proper separation from electromagnetic sources. Use the yellow color for logical grouping or easy identification in patch panels. When deploying in racks or conduits, maintain bend radius guidelines typical for Cat6a cables and avoid excessive twisting. Periodically inspect connector contacts and jacket condition for signs of wear.
