Cavo di rete VALUE 5 m UTP Cat.6a

The VALUE 5m UTP Cat.6a networking cable is a 5-metre Ethernet cable designed to meet Cat6a performance requirements. With U/UTP construction and RJ-45 connectors plated in gold, this cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10000 Mbit/s and is supplied in a bright yellow jacket for easy identification in patch panels and structured cabling runs.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat.6a specification provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, supporting higher network speeds and greater headroom for future upgrades. U/UTP shielding helps maintain signal integrity in typical office and home environments while RJ-45 connectors with gold plating ensure consistent contact performance and corrosion resistance. The 5 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across moderate distances without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and networked printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch connections in small server rooms or wiring closets
• High-speed Ethernet links for multimedia streaming and VoIP
• Temporary or permanent cabling where visible colour coding is useful

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat.6a (augmented)
• Shielding type: U/UTP (overall unshielded/individual twisted pairs unshielded with overall basic sheath)
• Length: 5 m
• Maximum data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Casing colour: yellow
• Suitable for: 10/100/1000/10G Ethernet applications (where supported by equipment)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device and the other end to the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii consistent with manufacturer guidance to preserve performance. For structured installations, label both ends if needed and secure the cable using cable ties or management channels to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the VALUE Cat.6a cable in environments with standard electrical noise levels and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Verify that connected equipment and patching infrastructure support 10G speeds if such throughput is required. Replace the cable if connectors or the sheath show visible damage.
