Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.5 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K5525FRT.5 RJ-45 Cat6a networking cable in red is a 5 m high-performance data cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. Compliant with Cat6a specifications, it supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is built with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts to reduce interference and improve contact conductivity. This cable provides a durable and visible connection solution for switches, routers, patch panels and network-enabled devices.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference for stable high-speed transfers over longer runs compared with lower-category cables. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts resist corrosion and ensure consistent contact quality. The 5 m length offers flexibility for typical desk-to-equipment routing while the red jacket improves cable identification in dense installations. Cat6a construction supports higher frequencies for future-proof performance in demanding network environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, servers and network switches in office and data cabinet setups
• Patch connections between routers, modems and wall outlets
• Home network setups requiring high-speed wired links for streaming and gaming
• Cable management scenarios where color-coded identification is needed

Key specifications

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

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the matching port on network devices until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and avoid running parallel to mains power lines to reduce potential interference. For best results, use this Cat6a cable for direct device-to-device connections, patch panel to switch links, or between wall outlets and routers. Ensure connectors are fully seated and secured to maintain consistent performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends with a radius smaller than the cable diameter and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for structured cabling. Use the red jacket for visual identification in patch panels and cable trays, and periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage. When installing in permanent infrastructure, consider cable management accessories and maintain separation from high-voltage power cables to preserve signal integrity.
