EFB Elektronik K8560BL.0,50 Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable, RJ-45, 0.5 m, Blue

The EFB Elektronik K8560BL.0,50 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP networking cable engineered for demanding data environments. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this blue patch cable is designed to provide stable and rapid data transmission at speeds reaching 10,000 Mbit/s. With its advanced double shielding and high-quality construction, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring that your network connection remains reliable and consistent for critical tasks.

Advantages

This networking cable offers superior signal integrity due to its S/FTP construction, which includes individual pair shielding and an overall braid shield to protect against crosstalk and external noise. The gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide excellent contact quality and corrosion resistance, contributing to a long service life. Its compact 0.5-meter length is ideal for reducing cable clutter in server racks and patch panels, promoting better airflow and organization in professional IT setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and switches in data centers
• High-speed local area network (LAN) installations
• Patching between network equipment in server cabinets
• Applications requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance networking due to its short 0.5-meter length. It is also not suitable for outdoor use or environments where the cable will be exposed to direct sunlight, moisture, or extreme physical stress, as it is designed primarily for indoor structured cabling.

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (Screened Fully Shielded Twisted Pair)
• Connector type: RJ-45
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Length: 0.5 meters
• Color: Blue

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a distinct click. Ensure that the cable is not bent at sharp angles or subjected to excessive tension, as this can damage the internal conductors and degrade signal performance. The cable is plug-and-play, requiring no additional configuration for immediate operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection path.
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Check the available space in your cable management system to ensure the connector housing fits comfortably.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a secure and stable connection.
