Cable de red EFB Elektronik K8580GR.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0,5 m gris

The EFB Elektronik K8580GR.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Grey is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in compact setups. Built to the Cat6a standard, this 0.5 m cable supports data transfer rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and incorporates S/FTP shielding for improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure secure contact and corrosion resistance while the grey jacket provides a neutral appearance for office or home network installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable offers enhanced bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower category cables, suitable for demanding network environments. The S/FTP shielding (shielded foiled twisted pair) decreases external interference and preserves signal integrity over short links. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs deliver dependable connectivity and lower contact resistance, contributing to consistent performance. The compact 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for connections between nearby devices such as switches, patch panels and wall outlets.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and wall ports in racks and small enclosures
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS devices or network printers located close to a switch
• Short runs in data centers, server rooms or office network closets where shielded cabling is required

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented performance for 10G Ethernet)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port (switch, router, patch panel or device). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a proper mechanical connection. For shielded installations, verify that connected equipment and patch panels support cable shielding and that ground continuity is maintained where required. Because the cable is 0.5 m long, plan routing to avoid stretching the cable and to keep connectors accessible for maintenance.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat6a S/FTP cable for reliable 10G-capable links in close-proximity equipment. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pull force on the cable; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cabling. For optimal shielding performance, connect to shielded ports or terminate the cable in compatible shielded patch panels and ensure proper grounding.
