Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8560BL.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8560BL.0,50 is a Cat6a network patch cable with a 0.5 m length and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Constructed to support data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s, the cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, providing reliable signal integrity in dense cabling environments. The blue jacket provides clear visual identification within racks, patch panels, and workstation cabling runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding around individually foiled pairs and the overall foil braid minimizes external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving transmission stability at higher frequencies. Short length and flexible construction make routing and patching in server rooms and network closets easier while reducing cable clutter. The standardized RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with network switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards that support Cat6a performance.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections between switch ports and patch panels in data centers
• Workstation connections where minimal cable slack is required
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps in local networks
• Environments where interference protection is important, such as near power cables or electronic equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Maximum supported data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s (10 Gbps)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (shielded foil twisted pair with overall foil braid)
• Color: Blue

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network switch, router or patch panel port and the other connector into the target device or adjacent patch port. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to guarantee a secure connection. For optimal performance, avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable within its bend radius; keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference where possible.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat6a patch cable for tidy, high-performance links in patch panels and rack-mounted equipment. For permanent in-wall installations or extended runs beyond the specified length, choose a suitable in-wall rated cable or longer length to maintain certification and compliance.
