Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5525FBL.0,25 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.25 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K5525FBL.0,25 is a compact Cat6a networking cable designed for short connection runs where high-speed data transfer and reliable shielding are required. This 0.25 m blue patch cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and is fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for stable contact and improved signal transmission. It supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is suitable for contemporary network environments that demand gigabit and 10-gigabit performance over short distances.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction provides individual pair foil shielding plus overall braid shielding to minimize crosstalk and external interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs offer corrosion resistance and consistent electrical contact to maintain signal integrity. The short 0.25 m length reduces excess cable clutter in dense rack, patch panel or workstation installations. The blue jacket enables easy visual identification within cable bundles or structured cabling systems.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting network devices in racks and patch panels over short distances
• Linking switches to servers or uplink ports in data centers
• Workstation connections where a compact, low-profile cable is required
• Temporary setups, test benches and equipment benching

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foil on individual pairs)
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Colour: blue

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector on one end into the network port of your switch, router, server or workstation and insert the opposite RJ-45 connector into the matching port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the clip engages. The cable is intended for short point-to-point connections and should be routed to avoid tight bends or crushing; maintain gentle curves to preserve shielding and conductor performance. No additional configuration is required — the cable provides a physical link for Ethernet traffic once connected.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this 0.25 m Cat6a S/FTP cable for short runs within racks, between patch panels and adjacent equipment, or where cable management requires minimal slack. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines; keep bends above the minimum bend radius to prevent signal degradation.
