Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8100MA.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5 m Magenta

The EFB Elektronik K8100MA.0,5 is a 0.5 m networking cable designed to provide a compact, high-performance connection between network devices. Built to the Cat6 standard with U/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and is finished in a magenta jacket for easy identification in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple nearby cables or electronic equipment. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact and corrosion resistance for stable long-term connectivity. The short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable slack and is suitable for close-proximity connections in racks, patch panels, or desktop setups. The magenta color simplifies cable identification and organization.

Suitable for

• Connecting network devices in racks and patch panels where short cable runs are required
• Linking a desktop computer or switch to nearby networking equipment
• Tidy cable management in home offices or professional server rooms

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat6
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Connector plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Data transfer rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Product colour: Magenta

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect devices that are positioned close to each other, such as a switch to a patch panel or a computer to a nearby router. Avoid excessive bending near the connector ends and maintain gentle curves to preserve cable performance. When routing multiple cables, separate power and data lines where possible to reduce potential interference.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, verify that connected devices support the intended data rates and that patch panels or switches are compatible with Cat6 links. Select the 0.5 m length when minimal slack is desired and the magenta color can help visually distinguish this connection in a bundle of cables.
