Network cable EFB Elektronik K5545GR.1,5 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Grey 1.5 m RJ-45

EFB Elektronik K5545GR.1,5 is a 1.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, designed for data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s. The cable's screened U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk between pairs and shields the signal from external electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connections for LAN, server and workstation links in home and office networks. Its grey jacket and standard RJ-45 terminations provide a reliable, plug-and-play solution for installations that require higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity.

Advantages

The shielded U/FTP (STP) design lowers both near-end and far-end crosstalk and offers additional protection against electromagnetic interference, which benefits performance in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion, contributing to long-term connection stability. The 1.5 m length is suitable for short runs between devices where minimal excess cable is preferred, while the Cat6a specification supports 10 Gbit/s networks at recommended distances.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and workstations to switches or routers in home and office networks
• Server-to-switch or switch-to-switch links in small server rooms and rack setups
• High-bandwidth applications such as large file transfers, video streaming and VoIP

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall braid plus individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Maximum data rate: up to 10 Gbit/s
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to confirm a secure mechanical and electrical connection. For optimal performance keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference and avoid tight bending radii. When used within recommended cabling standards and distances, the cable supports 10 Gbit/s links where network hardware also supports Cat6a speeds.

Usage recommendations

Use this 1.5 m Cat6a cable for short, high-performance links where minimal cable slack is desired. In environments with significant electrical noise, maintain proper cable management and consider grounding of shielded infrastructure components to maximize shielding effectiveness.
