Kramer PC6A-LS508-5M Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable RJ-45 5 m Blue

The Kramer PC6A-LS508-5M Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable RJ-45 5 m Blue is a high-performance networking patch cord designed to support reliable, high-speed data transmission in both professional and home network installations. Measuring 5 meters in length, this blue cable incorporates advanced shielding and quality construction materials to maintain signal integrity and minimize electromagnetic interference across demanding local area network environments.

Advantages

This networking cable features robust S/FTP shielding, consisting of individually screened twisted pairs combined with an overall braid, which effectively protects data signals from external electromagnetic and radio frequency interference. Built with four twisted pairs of 26AWG annealed bare copper conductors, the cable ensures stable electrical performance and efficient data flow. The slim snagless RJ-45 connectors include fifty-microinch gold-plated contacts to resist corrosion and provide a secure, long-lasting connection. Additionally, the low smoke and halogen-free jacket enhances safety in enclosed spaces by reducing toxic gas emissions in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, routers, and patch panels in local area networks
• High-speed internet connections and data-intensive office environments
• Professional AV installations requiring reliable network signal transmission
• Home network setups where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be suitable for outdoor installations or direct burial applications, as it is designed for indoor LAN environments. Additionally, the five-meter length may be too short or excessively long for setups that require very specific cable runs without slack management.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding type: S/FTP
• Length: 5 meters
• Color: Blue
• Conductor material: 26AWG annealed bare copper
• Connector type: RJ-45 with slim snagless design
• Contact plating: 50u gold-plated
• Jacket material: Low smoke and halogen-free

How to use

To use the cable, insert the RJ-45 connector into the designated network port of a compatible device such as a computer, router, switch, or wall outlet until the retaining clip clicks securely into place. Ensure the cable is routed safely without sharp bends, excessive tension, or pinching by furniture and doors to maintain optimal signal performance and prevent physical damage to the conductors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the five-meter length matches the distance required between your networked devices
• Confirm that your equipment supports RJ-45 connections and Cat6a networking standards
• Check whether low smoke and halogen-free cable ratings are required for your specific building installation regulations

Usage recommendations: Handle the connectors by the molded housing rather than pulling directly on the cable itself to prolong the lifespan of the contacts and internal wiring.
