Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8100RT.0,25 RJ-45 Cat6 0.25 m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8100RT.0,25 RJ-45 Cat6 networking cable is a 0.25 m patch cable designed for short-point Ethernet connections. It supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and uses Cat6 performance class with U/UTP shielding. Both ends are fitted with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and the cable is finished in red for easy identification in dense cabling environments.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable provides a compact, short-length solution for connecting devices where space is limited, such as patch panels, switches and desktop ports. The U/UTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference on the twisted pairs, while gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The red jacket simplifies visual cable management and quick identification among multiple cables.

Suitable for

• Short Ethernet links between switch ports and nearby devices
• Patch panel to switch connections in rack or cabinet setups
• Desktop or server connections where minimal cable length is required
• Environments that benefit from color-coded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Standard: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded with individually shielded pairs not indicated)
• Maximum data rate: 5000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Product colour: Red

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network port of the device and the other RJ-45 connector to the switch, patch panel or router port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the locking tab clicks to secure the connection. Use the cable for short, direct Ethernet links where a 0.25 m length is sufficient; avoid bending the cable sharply near the connector to maintain signal integrity.

Recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6 cable in indoor, dry environments and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. Use colored cables like this red variant to maintain clear cable organization in racks and patch panels. Replace the cable if connector contacts show visible corrosion or if the jacket is damaged.
