Cable de red EFB Elektronik K5545RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m rojo

The EFB Elektronik K5545RT.1 RJ-45 Cat6a 1 m networking cable is a red, shielded patch cable designed for reliable high-speed Ethernet connections. Built to Cat6a performance, the cable supports data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s and uses U/FTP (STP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for consistent contact and corrosion resistance, making it suitable for short-length links between switches, patch panels and network devices.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification provides headroom for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs while maintaining backward compatibility with lower category ports. U/FTP (STP) shielding around individual pairs helps minimise crosstalk and external noise in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve connector longevity and ensure a stable electrical connection. The 1 m length reduces excess slack in rack or desktop installations, and the red jacket makes cables easier to identify in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within racks and between nearby network devices
• Patch panels and switch-to-switch short links
• Desktop or server connections where a 1 m cable is appropriate
• Environments requiring shielded cables to reduce interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Shielding: U/FTP (shielded twisted pairs with overall drain)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 1 m
• Colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device or switch port and the other to the target device, such as a patch panel, server or desktop NIC. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click into place to secure the connection. Use the 1 m length for short links where a compact, tidy installation is desired. When routing the cable, avoid sharp bends and excessive stretching to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, pair this Cat6a cable with compatible Cat6a or higher-rated hardware and keep cable runs within recommended distances for 10 Gigabit operation. In high-interference areas, maintain proper grounding of patch panels and shielding termination to maximise the effectiveness of the U/FTP design.
