Networking Cable Connect 854478 Pink 0.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 854478 is a 0.5 m Cat6 S/FTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. Designed for short runs in structured networks, it delivers Category 6 performance with braided and foil shielding (S/FTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable's pink jacket provides a distinctive visual identifier for easy cable management in home or office installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around the twisted pairs and an overall braided screen ensure improved protection against external interference, which helps maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transfers. The Cat6 construction supports higher bandwidth and more reliable performance for gigabit Ethernet links over short distances. The 0.5 m length is convenient for patch panels, switches and nearby devices, while the molded RJ-45 connectors offer secure plug-and-play connections. The pink color aids in quick identification of network segments or special-purpose links.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switch and wall outlet or patch panel
• Desktop or rack-mounted networking where a compact cable is required
• Home offices and small business networks requiring clear cable identification
• Temporary setups, testing benches and equipment staging areas

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (individually foil shielded pairs with braided overall shield)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket colour: Pink
• Application: Ethernet, Gigabit LAN connections over short distances

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device (switch, router or network interface) and the other into the corresponding port on the patch panel, wall socket or endpoint device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a reliable connection. Avoid sharp bends at the connector ends and maintain gentle radii along the cable to prevent signal degradation. For best performance, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines and sources of strong electromagnetic interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat6 S/FTP cable for neat, short-distance connections in rack or desktop environments. Label both ends if used for dedicated links and route the cable through cable management panels or conduits to reduce mechanical stress. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage.
