Networking Cable Connect 854380 Pink 5 m Cat6a S/FTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable Connect 854380 Pink 5 m Cat6a S/FTP is a 5-metre patch cable designed for high-speed wired networks. It uses Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The pink jacket provides easy identification and a distinctive look while maintaining standard performance characteristics required for modern Ethernet installations.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable offers enhanced shielding that improves signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. The 5 m length balances flexibility and reach for desk-to-switch connections or short runs within server racks and workstations. Factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs ensure reliable contact and easy plug-and-play installation. The coloured jacket facilitates cable management and quick visual identification without affecting transmission quality.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches, routers and networked printers within offices and homes
• Short to medium-length links in structured cabling systems
• Environments where reduced interference and improved EMI protection are required
• Colour-coded network segments or installations requiring visual cable identification

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Pink
• Use: Ethernet, Gigabit and 10 Gigabit-compatible links over appropriate distances

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (such as a switch, router or wall port) and the other into the Ethernet port of the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines where possible to maintain optimal signal quality. For installations in patch panels or racks, allow some slack to accommodate movement and maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs within its length limit and in environments where shielding will reduce interference. Avoid excessive bending radii and tension on the cable; follow standard cabling practices for support and separation from power wiring. Use colour-coding to simplify network management and identify segments quickly during troubleshooting or reconfiguration.
