Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8056.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m oranje

The EFB Elektronik K8056.0,50 is a 0.5 m Cat6A networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The orange S/FTP cable (4 x 2 x AWG27/7, PiMF) provides shielded transmission and complies with TIA/EIA 568B wiring. It meets flame retardant and low-halogen standards (IEC 60332-1, IEC 60754-2, IEC 61034) and includes a mounted strain relief boot with latch protection. The cable assembly uses Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs (STP, IEC 60603-7-5) and is Class EA link certified by GHMT.

Advantages

This Cat6A patch cable supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet at up to 500 MHz, offering high bandwidth and reduced crosstalk thanks to S/FTP shielding and pair-in-metal-foil construction. The shielded Hirose TM21 RJ45 plugs and strain relief boot increase connector durability and ensure stable connections. Compliance with multiple IEC safety and low-smoke/halogen standards makes the cable suitable for installations that require improved fire-safety characteristics. The compact 0.5 m length and bright orange jacket simplify routing and identification in dense cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connections between switches, routers and servers over short distances
• Patching in data centers and server rooms where Class EA performance is required
• Office and home network setups requiring high-speed 10 Gbit links
• Environments where shielded cables are needed to reduce electromagnetic interference

How to use

Connect each RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices following the TIA/EIA 568B standard orientation. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the latch engages and the strain relief boot sits flush against the connector to prevent undue bending at the termination. Use the 0.5 m length for short patch runs between equipment in racks, patch panels, or wall outlets. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks to maintain transmission performance.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in environments with potential electromagnetic interference, ground the connected equipment and, if required, use shielded patch panels and connectors consistent with S/FTP cabling. Regularly inspect connectors and boots for damage and replace the cable if shielding or contacts are compromised.
