Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854501 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.3m Grey

The ExertisConnect 854501 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.3m Grey patch cable is a short, high-performance network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in confined installations. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for high-speed data transfer. The cable jacket is halogen-free and the construction incorporates thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials with integrated strain relief for improved durability and repeated plug cycles.

Advantages

Compact 0.3 m length reduces cable clutter and is suitable for connections between adjacent devices such as patch panels, switches and wall outlets. S/FTP shielding provides consistent protection against crosstalk and external noise, supporting stable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over the cable length. Halogen-free materials and a GRS-certified approach address environmental and safety concerns, while TPE construction and strain relief extend service life in frequent-use or tight-space scenarios.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to patch panels in rack-mounted setups
• Linking desktop devices to wall ports where short reach is required
• High-density cabling environments where space management is important
• Applications requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45
• Cable category: Cat. 6A (supports 10 Gbps over short distances)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.3 m
• Outer jacket: Halogen-free TPE
• Color: Grey
• Design feature: Integrated strain relief

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device (switch, patch panel or wall outlet) and the other connector into the target device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid compressing the jacket to maintain shielding performance. For best results, use this 0.3 m cable where a short, direct connection is required between devices in close proximity.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable in indoor installations away from high-power electrical equipment to maintain optimal signal quality. For permanent installations in racks, secure the cable to cable management channels to prevent strain on connectors. Replace the cable if the jacket or connectors show visible damage or if connection stability degrades.
