Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854502 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.5m Grey

The ExertisConnect 854502 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.5m Grey patch cable is engineered for short-distance, high-bandwidth network connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding, this cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk to support stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links. The halogen-free TPE jacket increases safety in enclosed environments, while the integrated locking tab secures the connector in place to prevent accidental disconnection. Its compact 0.5 m length makes it suitable for tidy patch panel-to-switch or desktop-to-wall outlet connections where a short, reliable link is required.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. The Cat. 6A specification supports higher throughput and frequency range for modern network demands. A halogen-free TPE jacket enhances fire safety by emitting fewer hazardous gases in case of a fire. The locking mechanism on the RJ45 plug prevents accidental unplugging, maintaining uninterrupted connections in busy or constrained setups. The grey color offers a neutral appearance that blends into most office and home environments.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and workstations
• High-speed Ethernet installations up to 10 Gigabit within short runs
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference (shielded cabling)
• Installations where halogen-free materials are preferred for safety
• Areas where secured connectors reduce accidental disconnections

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A, suitable for high-bandwidth Ethernet
• Length: 0.5 meters for short-distance connections
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE for improved fire safety
• Connector: RJ45 plug with locking mechanism
• Color: Grey

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding RJ45 port until the locking tab clicks to ensure a secure connection. Use the 0.5 m patch cable to link nearby network devices such as switches, routers, patch panels, or wall outlets. To disconnect, depress the locking tab and pull the connector straight out. Avoid excessive bending near the connector and maintain the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius to preserve signal integrity and cable lifespan.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat. 6A S/FTP cable within short rack or desktop patching runs and avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines. Verify that connected devices and patch panels support Cat. 6A or 10 Gigabit Ethernet to leverage the cable’s capabilities. Store spare cables in a dry environment away from direct sunlight and subjects to mechanical stress.
