Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 842200 2m Cat6 F/UTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 842200 2m Cat6 F/UTP is a 2-metre Ethernet cable engineered to meet Category 6 performance requirements. The cable uses F/UTP shielding (foil-screened pairs with an unshielded outer jacket) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable high-speed data transmission for home and office networks. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors and the cable is finished in grey, suitable for visible or concealed installations where a neutral appearance is preferred.

Advantages

This Cat6 F/UTP cable provides improved noise rejection compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with moderate electromagnetic interference. The 2 m length offers a compact connection option between network devices without excess cable clutter. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with routers, switches, network interface cards and other Ethernet-enabled equipment. The grey outer jacket balances durability and a discreet visual profile for residential and commercial setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers, NAS devices and other LAN equipment to switches or routers
• Short-run patching in structured cabling panels and wall outlets
• Home network setups where Cat6 performance and reduced interference are required
• Office workstations and meeting room AV connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil-shielded pairs, unshielded overall)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the network ports of the devices you wish to link, ensuring a positive click to confirm connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and avoid running it parallel to power lines for extended distances to minimise interference. For patching applications, use the 2 m length to connect equipment within the same rack or desk area; for wall outlet terminations, ensure connectors are compatible with the outlet hardware before inserting.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified length and environmental conditions. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force when installing. If operating in areas with high electromagnetic interference or where grounding is required, verify shielding and grounding practices in your installation environment to ensure maximum noise rejection.
