Networking Cable Connect 854459 10m Cat6 S/FTP Purple

The Exertis Connect 854459 10m Cat6 S/FTP Purple is a 10-metre network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in homes, offices and data closets. The cable uses Cat6 specification with S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs) to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity across Gigabit Ethernet and other high-speed network applications. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors in a durable purple jacket for easy identification.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction improves resistance to crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded alternatives, helping to sustain consistent throughput over the full 10 m length. Cat6 specification supports Gigabit Ethernet and offers headroom for higher frequency signals within specified limits. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interface cards. The purple jacket provides visual differentiation in multi-cable environments, simplifying cable management.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections between devices and network hardware
• Home and small office network setups requiring shielded cabling
• Patch panel to switch connections in rack or cabinet installations
• Audio-visual systems where reduced interference improves streaming and signal quality

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Purple

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (PC, switch, router or modem) and the other end to the corresponding port on the network appliance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the retaining clip clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, kinks and sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as heavy machinery or unshielded power cables. For rack installations, secure excess length with appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for runs up to 10 m in typical Ethernet environments. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines; keep bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter and avoid prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and clean contacts if required before reconnecting.
