Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5538SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Black

The EFB Elektronik K5538SW.2 RJ-45 Cat6a 2m Black is a shielded network cable designed for dependable high-speed data transmission over short to medium distances. It follows the Cat6a specification and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors support consistent contact and corrosion resistance. With a 2 m length and a discreet black jacket, the cable fits office, home and server-room installations where stable wired connectivity is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external noise and pair-to-pair interference compared with unshielded alternatives. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and enhanced performance for demanding Ethernet standards. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs improve conductivity and reduce oxidation at the contact points, prolonging reliable operation. The 2 m length offers flexibility for common workstation and rack connections without excessive cable slack, and the black finish blends unobtrusively into most environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, switches and routers within offices or homes
• Patch panel to switch connections in small server racks
• High-bandwidth applications such as HD streaming, VoIP and business data transfers
• Environments where EMI reduction and stable throughput are important

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6a S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 2 m
• Colour: Black
• Conductor: twisted pair copper (AWG typical for Cat6a standards)
• Transmission: suitable for Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet over specified distances

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks to ensure a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, pinching or tight cable ties that could impair shielding or conductors. For patching in racks, leave small service loops to facilitate future maintenance and avoid excessive tension on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in shielded or grounded installations to fully benefit from the shielding. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines for extended lengths; crossing at right angles can reduce interference. Periodically inspect connectors for damage or debris and replace the cable if physical wear affects signal quality.
