Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8702.0,50 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8702.0,50 RJ-45 Cat5e 0.5 m Yellow is a short patch cable designed for connecting network devices over twisted-pair copper cabling. It conforms to the Cat5e specification and uses RJ-45 terminations with gold-plated contacts. The cable length of 0.5 m is suited to patching between adjacent ports in racks, switches or wall outlets. S/UTP shielding reduces susceptibility to external electromagnetic interference while maintaining the flexibility expected from a compact network patch lead.

Advantages

This Cat5e cable supports data transfer rates consistent with the Cat5e class, with shielding to help maintain signal integrity in environments with potential interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The compact 0.5 m length minimizes cable clutter in dense installations, and the yellow jacket provides quick visual identification for structured cable management.

Suitable for

• Patching between switch ports in network racks and cabinets
• Connecting devices in small office or home network setups where short runs are required
• Temporary or permanent connections between network equipment and wall outlets
• Environments where colour-coded cabling improves organization and troubleshooting

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat5e
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/UTP (screened with overall foil around unshielded twisted pairs)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: yellow
• Intended medium: twisted-pair copper

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 plug securely into the corresponding jack on your networking device until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m cable to connect adjacent ports on switches, patch panels or between a wall outlet and nearby equipment. Ensure connectors are aligned and avoid excessive bending or kinking at the connector boot to preserve performance. For installations where shielding continuity is important, confirm proper grounding of connected devices and patch panels.

Recommendations

Use this short Cat5e S/UTP patch cable for tidy connections inside racks, between adjacent ports and for colour-coded installations. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines for extended distances to reduce interference risk, and do not exceed the intended bend radius near the RJ-45 plugs to maintain reliable throughput.
