Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K5517.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Brown

The EFB Elektronik K5517.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Brown is a short network patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections where space is limited. Built to Cat6 specification with S/FTP shielding and gold-plated contacts on both RJ-45 connectors, this 0.5 m cable supports high-speed data transmission and reduced interference, making it suitable for linking switches, patch panels, routers, and network ports in compact installations.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable features S/FTP shielding to protect against electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables and electronic devices. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs provide stable contact and corrosion resistance for consistent performance. The short 0.5 m length reduces clutter and signal loss over unnecessary cable runs, while the brown color offers a discreet appearance in racks or home offices.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels or routers in rack or cabinet setups
• Linking nearby network devices where a short, tidy cable is required
• Home office and small business desktop networking
• High-density patching in server rooms and telecommunication closets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with gold-plated contacts
• Data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s (as specified for supported throughput)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Colour: Brown

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port on your network devices until a click confirms engagement. For best performance, avoid tight bends and kinks in the cable and keep the run length appropriate for the 0.5 m size; use this cable to make short connections between adjacent ports or devices. Ensure both connected devices are configured for the desired network speed and duplex settings to match the supported data rate.

Recommendations

Use this cable for short patching tasks where space is constrained and shielded transmission is beneficial. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid excessive pulling on the connectors during installation and removal.
