Network Cable Exertis Connect 851312 RJ-45 to RJ-45 CAT 6 5.0m Grey

The Exertis Connect 851312 is a shielded S/FTP CAT 6 patch cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends and a 5.0 m length. Designed for wired Ethernet connections, this grey cable provides support for high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference thanks to its foil and braided shielding. The halogen-free jacket improves safety in enclosed spaces by lowering the release of harmful gases in case of fire. The cable is suitable for indoor installations where reliable Gigabit performance and cable shielding are required.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction offers improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain signal integrity over the full 5.0 m distance. RJ-45 plugs on both ends ensure compatibility with standard network ports and patch panels. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces toxic emissions and enhances fire safety in office, data centre, and residential environments. A neutral grey jacket provides a discreet appearance for visible routing.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels within network racks
• Wired connections for desktop PCs, printers and networked AV equipment
• Short to medium length point-to-point Ethernet runs in offices and homes
• Environments where cable shielding is needed to limit electromagnetic interference

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device or wall outlet and the other into the target device or port. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic noise where possible. For best performance, keep the cable untwisted beyond the connector and avoid compressing the cable under heavy objects.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT 6 S/FTP cable for indoor network installations requiring reliable Gigabit throughput and enhanced shielding. Avoid outdoor exposure or direct contact with moisture; if routing through conduits or cable trays, verify bend radius specifications and do not exceed manufacturer-recommended pulling tension to prevent damage to the conductors and shield.
