Networking Cable Connect 854407 25m Cat6 F/UTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 854407 is a 25 m Cat6 F/UTP patch cable designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections. The cable meets Cat6 performance parameters for gigabit and near-gigabit networks and includes foil shielding with an unshielded twisted pair core to reduce electromagnetic interference in mixed cabling environments. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in white, the cable is suitable for visible runs in homes, offices, and equipment racks where a neat appearance and consistent data transfer are required.

Advantages

The F/UTP construction provides improved protection against external interference compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain signal integrity over the 25 m length. Cat6-rated twisted pairs support higher frequency bandwidths and improved crosstalk performance versus older categories. Standard RJ-45 terminations on both ends ensure broad compatibility with routers, switches, network interface cards and other Ethernet devices. The white jacket offers a discreet look for wall-mounted or desk installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections in home and small office networks
• Connecting desktop PCs, network switches and routers
• Temporary or permanent cable runs where shielding reduces interference
• Visible installations where a white cable is preferred for aesthetics

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: White

How to use

Route the cable between devices ensuring the length covers the distance without excessive tension or tight bends. Insert the RJ-45 connector fully into the device port until it clicks to ensure a secure electrical and mechanical connection. For installations near sources of strong electromagnetic noise, position the cable to minimise parallel runs with power cables and maintain separation where possible. If multiple cables are installed together, avoid kinking and maintain gentle curves to preserve cable performance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 F/UTP cable with network equipment rated for gigabit Ethernet or higher. Avoid running the cable tightly alongside mains power cables to reduce potential interference, and secure the cable with clips or ties that do not compress the jacket. Periodically inspect connectors for dust or damage and replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show signs of wear.
