Networking Cable Connect 854382 Pink 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The Exertis Connect 854382 Pink 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a 10-meter Ethernet cable built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP (overall shield with individually foil-shielded pairs) construction. It provides performance suitable for high-speed local area network links, supporting multi-gigabit data rates while reducing susceptibility to electromagnetic interference. The cable is terminated with factory-fitted RJ-45 plugs on both ends and is finished in a distinctive pink jacket for easy identification in crowded cable runs.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity by combining an overall braided shield with foil around each twisted pair, which reduces crosstalk and external interference in environments with multiple cables or nearby electrical equipment. Cat6a specification ensures reliable support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet at distances up to standard limits for horizontal cabling. The 10-meter length offers flexibility for connecting devices across typical office or home layouts while the fitted RJ-45 connectors simplify installation. The colored jacket aids visual management and identification of network segments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, and routers in office or home networks
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring reduced interference (10/5/2.5/1 Gbps)
• Structured cabling where cable identification and organization are important
• Audio/video streaming and professional workstations needing stable network performance

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Jacket color: Pink
• Conductor configuration: Twisted pairs, AWG appropriate for Cat6a performance
• Application: Ethernet networking up to 10 Gbps over typical horizontal distances

How to use

Route the cable between network devices keeping bends gentle and avoiding sharp kinks; secure with appropriate clips or ties to prevent strain on connectors. Insert each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks into place. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or near strong EMI sources; where crossing is unavoidable, cross at a 90-degree angle. Test the link using a network tester or the connected devices to verify link speed and integrity after installation.

Usage recommendations

For reliable long-term performance, maintain service loops and avoid repeated flexing near the connector ends. In environments with high electromagnetic interference, prefer shielded connectors and properly grounded patch panels or outlets to ensure the S/FTP shielding is effective. Use the pink cable for easy visual identification when organizing multiple runs.
