Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708BL.0,50 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8708BL.0,50 is a 0.5 m Cat6a network cable designed for high-speed connections in compact installations. Built with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports data rates up to 10000 Mbit/s and is fitted with gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. Its blue jacket provides easy identification within patch panels or desktop setups while maintaining a compact length suitable for short runs between devices.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple active cables and electronic equipment. The Cat6a specification enables higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with lower category cables. Gold-plated contacts ensure low contact resistance and resistance to corrosion, while the 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable clutter in tight installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting a PC, switch or router to a nearby patch panel or wall outlet
• Short horizontal links in server racks or network cabinets
• Desk-side connections where a compact cable length is preferred
• Environments requiring shielded cables to reduce interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (Shielded Foil over each pair with overall braid)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Data rate: up to 10000 Mbit/s
• Length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: blue

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Verify secure seating and ensure the cable is routed without sharp bends or kinks. For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic interference. Use the cable for short connections between network devices such as switches, routers and wall outlets.

Recommendations

For best results in shielded installations, ensure both connected devices or patch panels provide proper grounding to maintain the effectiveness of the S/FTP shielding. Periodically inspect connectors for physical damage and replace the cable if contacts appear worn or if connection reliability degrades.
