Cable de red EFB Elektronik K8012.0,50 RJ-45 Cat5e 0,5 m rojo

The EFB Elektronik K8012.0,50 is a 0.5 m networking cable with RJ-45 connectors built to the Cat5e standard and SF/UTP shielding. Designed for short runs between devices, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 2500 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts to improve signal integrity and resist corrosion. The red outer jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cabling bundles.

Advantages

This Cat5e patch cable combines SF/UTP shielding with twisted-pair construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in crowded racks and desktop setups, while gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure a reliable metal-to-metal connection and long-term durability. The color-coded jacket simplifies cable management and identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices at close range (switch to patch panel, PC to switch)
• Office and home networking where short, tidy connections are needed
• Rack and cabinet patching where color coding improves organization
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat5e
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: SF/UTP (foil-screened with overall braid)
• Maximum data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: red outer jacket

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding port until it clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the cable for short connections between devices such as switches, routers, patch panels and computers. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and heavy compression; maintain the cable bend radius recommended for twisted-pair cabling to preserve signal quality. For installations with multiple cables, use the red color to mark or distinguish specific links.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to large sources of electromagnetic interference. Keep cable lengths as short as practical for the application and ensure connectors are fully seated. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs are compromised.
