Netwerkkabel EFB Elektronik K8104GR.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0,5 m grijs

The EFB Elektronik K8104GR.0,5 is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, designed for short-distance connections between network devices. Constructed with U/UTP shielding and gold-plated contacts, this grey cable supports reliable high-speed data transfer up to 5000 Mbit/s and fits standard Ethernet ports for desktop, switch or patch panel connections.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines U/UTP shielding with quality RJ-45 connectors to reduce interference and maintain signal integrity over short runs. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable electrical contact. Its compact 0.5 m length is convenient for tidy patching behind desks, in small server racks or for linking nearby devices without excess cable clutter. The neutral grey jacket provides a discreet appearance in professional or home network setups.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, routers and workstations
• Connecting network devices in compact server cabinets or media centers
• Replacing or extending existing Cat5/Cat5e cables where Cat6 performance is required
• Temporary setups for testing or configuration of network equipment

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6
• Length: 0.5 m
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall foil shielding)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Maximum data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Color: grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable for direct device-to-device links where a short, reliable connection is needed. Verify link status LEDs on connected equipment to confirm proper negotiation of speed and duplex. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connectors and route the cable to prevent kinking or undue strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 cable for short-distance patching and avoid running it in parallel with high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors periodically for debris and ensure that strain relief is maintained at connection points. If longer runs or additional electromagnetic shielding are required, consider a fully shielded cable suitable for the installation environment.
