Networking Cable ExertisConnect 842930 Cat6 F/UTP 30m Grey

The ExertisConnect 842930 Cat6 F/UTP 30m Grey is a 30-metre high-performance Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired network connections. With Cat6 performance and F/UTP shielding, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors and the neutral grey jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for office or home environments.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding offers improved protection against external electromagnetic and radio-frequency interference compared with unshielded cables, which helps maintain signal integrity over longer runs. Cat6 construction supports higher bandwidths and better crosstalk performance than older cable categories. The 30 m length allows flexibility in placement of networked devices without intermediary switches, while pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors simplify installation. The grey outer jacket is durable and suited to visible and concealed cable routes.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktops, laptops, and workstations to wired LAN ports
• Linking switches, routers, and patch panels within office and data closet environments
• Home network setups requiring a stable wired connection for streaming or gaming
• Point-to-point connections where EMI protection is needed, such as near electrical equipment

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: F/UTP (foil shield around all pairs with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Outer sheath colour: Grey
• Typical use: Ethernet, Gigabit networks

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the corresponding port on your switch, router, or wall socket. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference when possible; secure with cable ties or clips for neat installation. For permanent installations, verify connectors and run length meet routing and safety requirements.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within typical Cat6 distance guidelines for Gigabit Ethernet and avoid excessive bending or tight coiling. When installing near heavy electrical equipment, maintain separation or add grounding as required by your local installation standards to preserve shielding effectiveness.
