Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8104GN.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8104GN.0,5 is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction. Designed for short-link connections between network devices, the cable supports data transfer rates up to 5000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Its green jacket makes the cable easy to identify in patch panels and equipment racks.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6 specification provides higher frequency performance compared with earlier categories, while the U/UTP design keeps the internal pairs untwisted only at the connector ends and relies on an overall unshielded jacket. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts reduce contact resistance and wear over time. A 0.5 m length minimises excess cable in dense installations and simplifies tidy routing in confined spaces. The green colour aids visual organisation and reduces the chance of mispatching.

Suitable for

• Short connection between switch and patch panel or network interface
• Connecting devices in server cabinets or crowded workstations
• Temporary or permanent links in office or home network setups
• Colour-coded cable management and labelling

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat6
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding type: U/UTP (overall unshielded with untwisted pairs at terminations)
• Maximum data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on the network devices until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable for short-distance links where minimal slack is required; avoid stretching the cable and ensure connectors are fully seated for reliable contact. When routing within racks or behind equipment, follow existing cable management routes to maintain airflow and accessibility.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 cable for connections up to the specified length without excessive bending near the connectors. Keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and avoid sharp kinks. For installations requiring additional shielding or longer distances, consider a different cable type that matches those environmental and performance needs.
