Networking Cable EFB Elektronik K8708GN.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6a 0.5m Green

The EFB Elektronik K8708GN.0,5 is a compact Cat6a networking cable designed for short connections between network devices. At 0.5 m length it provides a reliable link with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Gold-plated contacts enhance contact reliability and consistent signal transfer, while the green jacket makes the cable easy to identify in dense installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable supports higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared to lower-category patch cords. The S/FTP shielding configuration provides robust protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable electrical contact over repeated insertions. Its short 0.5 m length minimizes excess cable in patch panels and tight rack spaces, making routing neater and reducing potential signal reflections.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in server racks and wall-mounted cabinets
• Short horizontal or patch connections between network ports on devices and outlets
• High-speed links requiring Cat6a performance in compact setups
• Environments where cable color-coding is used for network organization

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short patching between devices such as switches, modems, routers and network outlets. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable; route it alongside other cables or secure it with cable management clips to maintain performance. For installations in racks or patch panels, choose appropriate cable management to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

Place the cable where its 0.5 m length is sufficient to avoid slack; use longer or shorter lengths as required for other runs. When deploying in environments with strong electromagnetic sources, ensure proper grounding of patch panels and connected equipment to maximize shielding effectiveness.
