Networking Cable Dexlan RJ-45 Cat6 M/M 5m

The Dexlan RJ-45 Cat6 M/M 5m networking cable provides a 5 metre connection for Ethernet devices using RJ-45 terminations on both ends. Constructed with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic and crosstalk interference to maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors offer consistent contact reliability and corrosion resistance, and the white jacket delivers a neutral, unobtrusive appearance for home or office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to improve resistance to external interference and minimise internal pair-to-pair crosstalk. Cat6 performance supports Gigabit Ethernet applications and typical network requirements for streaming, file transfer and VoIP. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact quality and reduce oxidation over time, ensuring stable connectivity. The 5 m length covers common device-to-switch or patch panel distances while the white outer sheath blends into light-coloured environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops or network printers to switches or routers
• Patch cabling between network ports and wall outlets in small offices
• Home networking for streaming video, online gaming and smart home devices
• Temporary or semi-permanent setups where a 5 m reach is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Cable length: 5 m
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Outer colour: white

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and kinks in the cable; maintain a gentle bend radius to preserve internal pair geometry and shielding effectiveness. When routing near high-power electrical equipment, allow separation where possible to reduce potential interference. For fixed installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable ties without compressing the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for Gigabit Ethernet connections and typical local area networking tasks. For runs longer than standard patch lengths or for environments with very high electromagnetic interference, consider shielded cable infrastructure with appropriate grounding and, if necessary, higher-category cabling to meet specific performance requirements.
