Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K0993.0,5 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5m Black

The EFB Elektronik K0993.0,5 is a short, shielded Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable wired network connections. With a length of 0.5 m and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, this Cat5e cable supports fast data transfer for common home and office networking needs. The S/UTP (shielded twisted pair) construction and gold-plated contacts improve signal integrity and reduce interference, while the compact length helps keep patch panels, switches and workstations tidy.

Advantages

The cable's Cat5e specification allows for stable data rates suitable for most local area network applications. S/UTP shielding provides protection against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference in environments with crowded cabling or nearby electronic equipment. Gold-plated contacts ensure consistent contact quality and corrosion resistance over time. The 0.5 m length reduces cable clutter and is convenient for short patch runs between devices situated close together.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting a router, switch or patch panel to a nearby device
• Short patch connections in server racks or network cabinets
• Linking desktop computers, VoIP phones or network printers to a wall jack
• Temporary network setups and testing environments

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Category 5e (Cat5e)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Black
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 2500 Mbit/s (typical for Cat5e applications)

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on your devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short distances between equipment—avoid stretching or bending the cable sharply near the connectors to maintain performance. If connecting devices inside a rack, route the cable to minimize strain and contact with moving components. For best results, ensure ports are free of dust and that connectors are fully seated.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat5e S/UTP cable for tidy, high-integrity connections where devices are close together. Avoid installing it in long runs or outdoor paths; for longer distances or outdoor use, select a cable with an appropriate length and environmental rating. To reduce interference further in electrically noisy environments, pair this cable with properly grounded equipment and metal patch panels.
