Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8100BL.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5 m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8100BL.0,5 is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors designed for short connections between network devices. The cable uses U/UTP construction with individually unshielded pairs and an overall unshielded braid, and features gold-plated contacts to maintain stable signal contact and reduce corrosion. Rated for data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s, this blue patch cable is intended for use where a compact, reliable connection is needed, for example between switches, patch panels and desktop devices.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6 specification supports high-speed Ethernet applications and provides performance above older categories for reduced crosstalk and improved signal integrity. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts offer reliable mating and corrosion resistance, while the short 0.5 m length reduces clutter and signal attenuation in close-proximity setups. The blue jacket provides simple visual identification in structured cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting a switch to a patch panel at close range
• Linking desktop PCs or workstations to nearby network ports
• Short-run connections in rack or cabinet installations
• Temporary test and diagnostic connections in networking labs

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Category: Cat6
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Color: blue
• Rated data transfer: up to 5000 Mbit/s

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices located close to each other to minimize excess cable length. Avoid tight bends or kinks near the connector ends and route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference for stable performance.

Recommendations

For reliable network performance, use this Cat6 cable within short rack or desktop distances and avoid extending it with multiple adapters. Inspect connectors for debris before insertion and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
