Networking Cable Connect 854461 20m Cat6 S/FTP Purple

The Exertis Connect 854461 is a 20 m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable in purple with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for structured cabling and point-to-point connections, the cable supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds and provides improved signal integrity through shielded S/FTP construction that reduces external electromagnetic interference. The cable jacket and connector strain relief are built for repeated insertion and everyday use in home, office, or small-data environments.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to limit crosstalk and external noise, which helps maintain consistent throughput over longer runs. Cat6 performance enables reliable Gigabit networking and improved headroom for applications that require higher bandwidth. The 20 m length offers flexibility for typical room-to-room or desk-to-switch deployments without needing couplers, and the purple colour makes cable identification and routing easier in mixed installations.

Suitable for

• Gigabit Ethernet connections between devices and network switches
• Structured cabling in home offices and small business networks
• Audio/video streaming, conferencing, and data transfer applications
• Patch panels and wall plate terminations where a pre-terminated cable run is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Purple
• Designed for: Gigabit Ethernet and backward compatible with lower Ethernet standards

How to use

Uncoil the cable and route it along the intended path, avoiding tight bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (PC, switch, router, or wall outlet) and the other into the destination device. Ensure connectors seat firmly until the latch clicks. For best performance, keep the cable away from power supplies, fluorescent fixtures, and large motors that may introduce interference.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, maintain bend radii above the cable's minimum specification, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines for long distances, and test connections after installation using a network tester to verify continuity and Gigabit link speed. Use the purple colour to label and document cable runs within your network diagram.
