Cable de red EFB Elektronik K8580GN.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0,5 m verde

The EFB Elektronik K8580GN.0,50 is a Cat6a networking cable measuring 0.5 m and designed for high-speed Ethernet connections up to 10000 Mbit/s. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and features gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable contact and low insertion loss. The cable follows the Cat6a specification and supports 10GBase-T cabling technology, making it suitable for short patch connections in structured networks where performance and signal integrity matter. The distinctive green jacket provides clear visual identification within cable bundles and patch panels.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around each pair and an overall foil shield improves resistance to crosstalk and external noise, which helps maintain stable data throughput at higher frequencies. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide durable, corrosion-resistant contact surfaces that reduce connection faults over time. The short 0.5 m length is practical for patching between nearby devices, eliminating excess cable slack and improving rack or desk organization. Compliance with Cat6a electrical characteristics ensures compatibility with existing 10 Gigabit Ethernet infrastructure.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-speed workstation connections in offices and home labs
• Connections inside network racks to reduce cable clutter
• Environments where shielding is required to limit electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Category 6a (Cat6a)
• Supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs and overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device or patch panel port and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, router or network interface. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Because the cable is 0.5 m long, plan routing to avoid tension or sharp bends near the connectors and keep the cable free from heavy mechanical stress. For best results, use this cable for short-length patching inside racks, between closely spaced devices, or as a tidy desk connection.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain proper bend radius near the connectors. Periodically inspect the gold-plated contacts for debris and ensure connectors seat firmly; replace the cable if the outer jacket or shielding is damaged.
