Networking Cable Dätwyler Cables Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 5m

The Dätwyler Cables Cat. 6a RJ45 - RJ45 5m networking cable provides shielded twisted-pair connectivity for high-speed wired networks. This 5-metre blue cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections. The cable terminates in RJ45 connectors on both ends for plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices.

Advantages

S/FTP construction offers improved signal integrity in electrically noisy environments by combining individual pair foil shielding with an overall braided shield. The Cat. 6a specification supports higher bandwidth and reduced alien crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, making it suitable for demanding applications. The 5 m length balances flexibility and reach for typical desktop-to-wall outlet or equipment-to-switch connections, and the blue jacket provides clear visual identification in structured cabling installations.

Suitable for

• Desktop or laptop connection to wall ports and patch panels
• Connections between switches, routers and network appliances
• Small office and home office wired LAN setups
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet segments within the specified distance and environment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6a (augmented)
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair with overall braided shield)
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Maximum data rate: 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbit/s)
• Length: 5 metres
• Jacket color: Blue
• Typical use: Ethernet networking (LAN)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device or wall outlet and the other RJ45 plug to the switch, router or PC network port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable physical connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks and tight loops; keep the cable away from large power cables and sources of electromagnetic interference where possible. When routing the cable through cable trays or conduits, ensure bend radius recommendations for Cat. 6a cable are observed.

Usage recommendations

For consistent 10 Gbit/s performance, use the cable within typical horizontal cabling lengths and in environments where shielding is retained; terminate and test connections using appropriate tools and network testers to verify continuity, return loss and crosstalk parameters. Replace cables that show visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
