Networking Cable EFB Elektronik MK6001W.0,5B 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Black

The EFB Elektronik MK6001W.0,5B is a 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable designed for reliable high-speed data transfer. Compliant with Cat6a performance, it supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and corrosion resistance, while the black jacket provides a discreet appearance for home and office installations.

Advantages

The shielded S/FTP construction delivers improved protection against external interference, maintaining signal integrity at higher frequencies. The cable’s short 0.5 m length minimizes latency and is suitable for patching in racks or connecting nearby devices. One connector is angled at 90° to facilitate connections in tight spaces, and the moulded slim grommet eases insertion in confined areas. Gold-plated RJ-45 plugs provide stable connection and long-term durability.

Suitable for

• Patching between network switches and patch panels in server racks
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS units or networked peripherals in small workplaces
• Short links in home network setups where space is limited
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications requiring shielded connections

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (one 90° angled on one side)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Cable colour: black
• Design detail: moulded slim grommet for easier insertion

How to use

Connect the straight or 90° RJ-45 plug to the corresponding Ethernet port of your device and the other end to the switch, patch panel or router. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. For best performance, avoid tight bends at the connector, keep the cable length appropriate for the link, and maintain separation from strong sources of electromagnetic interference when possible.

Recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short, high-speed links where shielding and reliable 10 Gigabit performance are required. The 90° connector is recommended when rear-panel clearance is limited; route the cable gently to prevent strain on connectors and preserve shielding effectiveness.
