Networking cable S/CONN 75715 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Grey

The S/CONN 75715 RJ-45 Cat6a 5 m Grey networking cable is a shielded S/FTP (also referenced as S-STP) Ethernet cable engineered for stable high-speed data transfer over short to medium distances. With a 5 metre length and RJ-45 connectors featuring gold-plated contacts, the cable is intended to provide consistent connectivity for wired networks in home and office settings. The grey outer sheath offers a neutral appearance that integrates easily into professional and residential installations.

Advantages

The cable's S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from surrounding equipment and cabling, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs enhance contact reliability and corrosion resistance, while the Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved crosstalk performance compared with earlier categories. The 5 m length balances reach and manageable cable routing for desktop or rack-mounted network setups.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections between PCs, switches and routers within the same room or adjacent rooms
• Home office networks requiring stable gigabit or higher throughput
• Office workstations, meeting rooms and small server connections
• Temporary network setups for events or testing where a mid-length cable is needed

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (shielded overall with individually shielded pairs)
• Category: Cat6a — suitable for high-bandwidth Ethernet
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (router, switch or network interface on a computer) and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and prolonged kinking; maintain a minimum bend radius consistent with typical Ethernet cabling practices to preserve signal performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for distances up to the specified 5 m within managed network environments. Avoid running parallel to unshielded power lines for extended lengths; if crossing power cables is necessary, do so at right angles. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or corrosion and replace the cable if physical damage to the sheath or connectors is observed.
