Cable de red EFB Elektronik K8708GR.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m gris

The EFB Elektronik K8708GR.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Grey networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for wired network connections that require high throughput and reduced electromagnetic interference. With Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding, this 5 metre cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is intended for reliable connections between switches, routers, network cards and other Ethernet devices. The grey jacket and gold-plated contacts provide a neutral appearance and corrosion-resistant terminations suitable for professional and home environments.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Cat6a support ensures compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet over 5 m lengths while RJ-45 connectors offer universal compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. Gold-plated contacts enhance conductivity and reduce contact corrosion for stable long-term performance. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical office or home wiring runs without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and networked devices in office or home networks
• High-bandwidth applications such as 10 Gigabit Ethernet or large file transfers
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is required
• Short to medium cable runs where a 5 m length is appropriate

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually foil‑shielded twisted pairs)
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: grey

How to use

Inspect both RJ-45 connectors and the cable jacket for visible damage before installation. Insert one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the network device and the other connector into the corresponding port of the switch, router or computer until the latch clicks. For best signal quality, avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable and keep it away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or unshielded power lines. If wall routing or cable ties are used, maintain gentle bends and do not over-tighten fasteners around the cable.

Recommendations

Use the cable for indoor installations and within the specified length to maintain full Cat6a performance. For permanent in‑wall installations or plenum spaces, verify that the cable jacket meets local fire and building codes. When connecting 10 Gbps equipment, confirm link speed and duplex settings on network devices and update firmware or drivers if necessary.
