Networking Cable ExertisConnect 853329 Green 20m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect 853329 Green 20m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable provides a 20 metre connection for devices requiring Gigabit-capable data transfer. Built to Cat6 standards with S/FTP (S-STP) shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the cable is intended to deliver stable transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference in home and office network installations. The green jacket identifies the cable visually and the construction aims to balance flexibility with durability for routine routing and patching tasks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braided screen with individually shielded twisted pairs to lower crosstalk and external noise, improving signal integrity over the 20 m run. Cat6 performance supports higher bandwidth and tighter pair tolerances compared with older cable categories, allowing reliable Gigabit Ethernet connections. The fitted RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard network ports, while the cable jacket and conductor assembly are designed for repeated handling and straightforward installation.

Suitable for

• Wiring between network switches, routers and wall outlets in homes or small offices
• Connecting desktop PCs, NAS devices and network printers to a LAN
• Patch cabling in server rooms or structured cabling closets where 20 m runs are required
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is beneficial (near power lines or other electronics)

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Green
• Suitable data rates: Gigabit Ethernet (typical application)

How to use

Route the ExertisConnect Cat6 S/FTP cable between the two network endpoints, avoiding tight bends and sharp kinks to preserve cable performance. Insert the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding Ethernet ports until the latch clicks. For fixed installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management to prevent stress on the connectors. If the cable must pass near strong sources of electromagnetic interference, maintain separation where possible and ensure shields are properly terminated at patch panels or shielded connectors when used in structured cabling.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for runs up to 20 m in length within structured cabling guidelines, avoid exceeding the recommended bend radius, and terminate or connect shield drains correctly when integrating with shielded network equipment to achieve optimal S/FTP performance.
