Networking cable EFB Elektronik K8104GE.0,5 RJ-45 Cat6 0.5 m Yellow

The EFB Elektronik K8104GE.0,5 is a 0.5 m Cat6 networking cable with RJ-45 connectors and U/UTP construction. Designed for short runs and equipment connections, this yellow patch cable provides support for high-speed data transmission up to 5000 Mbit/s and includes gold-plated contacts to improve signal reliability and contact durability. Its compact length and vivid color simplify cable management and identification in racks, patch panels, and desktop installations.

Advantages

This Cat6 cable combines U/UTP shielding with gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to reduce interference and maintain consistent connection quality. The short 0.5 m length minimizes clutter and signal degradation on short links. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility for maintenance and quick identification among mixed cabling. The cable is suitable for installations where space is limited and where reliable, high-speed connectivity is required between nearby network devices.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches and patch panels in data cabinets
• Linking network ports on servers, desktops, or network appliances located close together
• Clean desktop and home office setups where short, visible cables are preferred
• Temporary or permanent connections in test benches and lab environments

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 plug on each end to the corresponding network ports of the devices to be linked, ensuring the connector latches are fully engaged. Use the cable for short-distance patching inside racks, between adjacent devices, or on desktops. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain gentle curves near connectors to preserve cable performance. For organized installations, group and label cables according to port assignments and color conventions.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running Cat6 patch cables in parallel with power lines and keep bending radii larger than the cable diameter. Use this 0.5 m cable for short links where minimal length reduces clutter; choose longer, properly shielded cables for longer distances or environments with significant electromagnetic interference.
