Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8104RT.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5m Red

The EFB Elektronik K8104RT.0,5 is a 0.5 m networking cable designed to connect devices using standard RJ-45 ports. Built to the Cat6 specification, this red U/UTP cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 5000 Mbit/s and features gold-plated contacts for stable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The compact length and visible color make it suitable for short runs in patch panels, switches, routers, and desktop equipment.

Advantages

The Cat6 construction provides improved bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, while the U/UTP design keeps the cable simple and flexible for tight routing. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable electrical connection and lower contact resistance. The 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in dense racks and desktop setups, and the red jacket helps with visual identification and cable management.

Suitable for

• Short connections between network devices such as switches, patch panels and routers
• Desktop and workstation networking where a compact cable is required
• Environments requiring color-coded cabling for easy identification
• Temporary setups and test benches where short, reliable links are needed

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Standard: Cat6
• Maximum data rate: up to 5000 Mbit/s
• Conductor/Shielding type: U/UTP (unshielded pair with overall unshielded)
• Connectors: RJ-45 – RJ-45
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Colour: red

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your devices until the latch clicks. Ensure ports are powered down or in a safe state when connecting or disconnecting in live industrial environments to avoid damage. For network performance, avoid sharp bends or kinks in the cable and keep it away from strong electromagnetic interference sources. Use the 0.5 m length for direct short links where minimal slack is desired.

Recommendations

For structured cabling, use this cable for short patch connections within racks and between nearby devices. Maintain gentle bend radii, avoid running alongside high-voltage power cables, and use color-coding to simplify maintenance and troubleshooting.
