Networking cable EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/STP Cat6a 0.5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik RJ45 S/STP Cat6a networking cable is a 0.5 m yellow patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission and reliable connections between network devices. It features S/FTP (S/STP) shielding and TIA/EIA 568B coding with two Hirose TM31 connectors, meeting Cat6a performance requirements for up to 10 Gbps applications in short-distance links.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference thanks to its overall braid and individually shielded pairs. The short 0.5 m length reduces crosstalk and signal loss in dense installations, while the yellow jacket enables quick identification in patch panels and cable runs. TIA/EIA 568B coding and Hirose TM31 connectors ensure compatibility with standard RJ45 ports and structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers
• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6a performance (10 Gbps over short distances)
• Environments requiring clear cable identification (yellow colour)

How to use

Connect each Hirose TM31 (RJ45) plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices, ensuring secure insertion until the connector latch clicks. Use this 0.5 m cable for direct patching in racks, between adjacent switches or from a patch panel to a nearby device. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and keep the cable away from strong electrical noise sources for optimal performance.

Recommendations

For best results in high-density racks, use this short Cat6a S/FTP cable to minimize loop length and maintain signal integrity. Verify that connected equipment supports Cat6a speeds and that patch panel terminations follow the TIA/EIA 568B standard.
