Networking cable EFB Elektronik K5525FGN.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5 m Green

The EFB Elektronik K5525FGN.0,5 is a Cat6a networking cable with a length of 0.5 m designed for short patch connections in network racks, switches and wall outlets. The cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, and supports 10GBase-T transmission with data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s. Both ends are terminated with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors to maintain stable contact and minimise signal loss. The green jacket provides easy visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around twisted pairs and an overall foil shield provide improved protection against interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps preserve signal integrity at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification and 10GBase-T compatibility enable reliable 10 Gbit/s performance for short distances typical in patching and switch-to-server connections. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve corrosion resistance and contact reliability, while the compact 0.5 m length reduces clutter in dense rack or desktop setups.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Patch connections between switch ports and servers or network appliances
• Short runs in server racks and comms cabinets
• Desk or workstation connections where a short, visible cable is preferred
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to limit EMI and crosstalk

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Cabling technology: 10GBase-T
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs and overall shield)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Length: 0.5 m
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Colour: Green

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device port and the other into the corresponding switch, patch panel or endpoint port. Ensure connectors are seated fully until the locking tab engages. For best results, avoid sharp bends near the connector and keep the cable free from crushing or kinking. The 0.5 m length is intended for short patching runs; choose an alternative length if you need longer distances.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for intra-rack or short cross-connects where 10GBase-T performance and reduced electromagnetic interference are required. Avoid running shielded cables in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain proper grounding of connected equipment in installations that depend on shielding effectiveness.
