Networking Cable Connect 854465 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The Exertis Connect 854465 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP cable is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in compact setups. Constructed with Cat6 performance and S/FTP shielding, this cable supports stable high-speed data transfer while reducing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors and copper-plated contacts to ensure consistent conductivity. The cable's orange jacket helps with quick identification in cable bundles and small network racks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to deliver improved protection against interference compared with unshielded cables. The Cat6 specification supports higher frequencies and better signal integrity for gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications. Short length (0.5 m) minimizes unused cable slack, reducing clutter and signal reflections in dense installations. Copper-plated contacts on the RJ-45 plugs provide reliable electrical contact and corrosion resistance for consistent performance over time.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network ports in close proximity
• Short patch runs behind desks, in server cabinets and network racks
• Linking devices in home offices, multimedia setups and workplace clusters

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on individual pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Contact plating: copper-plated contacts
• Color: orange

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding network port on your devices, switches or patch panels until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short point-to-point connections where minimal slack is desired; avoid sharp bends near the connector ends and maintain the natural bend radius of the cable to preserve shielding and performance. When routing in dense environments, secure the cable with Velcro ties or cable management clips to prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable away from high-power electrical equipment and fluorescent lighting that may introduce interference. Use this 0.5 m Cat6 S/FTP cable for internal patching and short links; for longer runs, select an appropriately rated Cat6 or higher cable with the required length. Inspect connectors periodically for wear and replace the cable if contact corrosion or physical damage is observed.
