Networking cable Connect 854475 30 m Cat6 S/FTP

The Connect 854475 30 m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a 30-metre orange Ethernet cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. Constructed to Cat6 standard with S/FTP shielding and fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to maintain signal integrity across longer runs. Its 30 m length and bright orange colour make it easy to route and identify in patching environments where clear cable management is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables, supporting stable performance for bandwidth-intensive applications. Cat6-rated construction enables higher data rates and better return loss performance than lower-category cables. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors allow immediate installation without additional termination tools, and the vivid orange jacket enhances visibility for organized cabling and reduced error during maintenance.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers in office networks
• Structured cabling runs in home networks and small server rooms
• High-bandwidth applications such as HD video streaming and large file transfers
• Temporary or permanent patching where cable visibility and management are important

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 30 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Orange
• Typical use: Ethernet networking up to Cat6 performance

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and sharp bends. Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (PC, switch, router or patch panel) and the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors click into place and check link/activity LEDs on connected devices to confirm a successful connection. Route the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise and secure it with cable management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors during use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum bend radius and keep it separated from high-voltage power lines. Inspect connectors for damage before installation and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised. For permanent structured cabling, verify network speed and performance after installation using network testing tools appropriate for Cat6 cabling.
