Network Cable Sharkoon Patch SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5m Blue

The Sharkoon Patch Network Cable SFTP RJ-45 Cat.7a 5m Blue is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired networks. Built to Cat.7a specifications, it supports advanced signal integrity through SFTP (shielded foiled twisted pair) construction and robust RJ-45 connectors. The 5 metre length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or within office racks while the blue jacket makes cable identification straightforward.

Advantages

The SFTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving stability for high-bandwidth applications. Cat.7a compatibility enables support for high-frequency transmissions and future-proofed performance within supported infrastructure. The cable’s molded RJ-45 plugs deliver a secure connection and strain relief to reduce connector wear. The 5 m length balances reach and manageable cable routing for residential and commercial setups.

Suitable for

• Wired home networks between routers, switches, and PCs
• Office network patching and desk connections
• Connecting networked media devices such as smart TVs and NAS
• Temporary cabling for events or test setups requiring stable data links

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.7a
• Shielding: SFTP (overall foil + individual pair shielding)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Length: 5 m
• Color: Blue
• Use: Ethernet network cabling for high-frequency data transmission

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to a network device such as a router, switch, or network interface on a PC and the other end to the target device. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and proximity to heavy electrical sources to maintain shielding effectiveness and signal quality. For fixed installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its length limit and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables over long distances. Verify that connected devices and infrastructure support Cat.7a or compatible standards to take full advantage of higher frequency capabilities. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if shielding or plug integrity is compromised.
