PremiumCord networking cable Orange 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45

The PremiumCord networking cable Orange 5 m Cat6a S/FTP RJ-45 is a 5‑metre Ethernet patch cable designed for 10 Gbit/s networks. Built to the Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding, this orange cable features molded RJ‑45 connectors on both ends for straightforward plug‑and‑play use. It is intended for high-speed wired connections in homes, small offices, server rooms and multimedia setups where reduced interference and reliable data throughput are required.

Advantages

The Cat6a construction supports higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with lower category cables, enabling data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. S/FTP shielding—an overall foil shield with individually braided shields for each twisted pair—reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference for more stable connections. Molded RJ‑45 connectors provide secure contact and strain relief, while the bright orange jacket makes the cable easy to identify in bundles and cable runs.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High-speed LAN connections for desktop PCs and workstations
• Connecting switches, routers and network appliances in offices
• Patch panel and rack connections in small server rooms
• Multimedia streaming and gaming consoles requiring low latency
• Temporary or permanent horizontal cabling where visual identification is useful

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 connector to the Ethernet port of your device (PC, switch, router, or console) and the other connector to the network port you want to access. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking tab clicks to establish a proper electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; leave slack at connection points to reduce strain. The cable requires no configuration and supports standard Ethernet autonegotiation for speed and duplex settings.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. Use the orange colour for easy identification in mixed-cable environments and choose appropriate cable management accessories to secure connections in racks or behind equipment.
