Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854503 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.0m Grey

The ExertisConnect 854503 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable is a 1.0 m S/FTP network cable with a grey TPE jacket designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. The cable supports Cat 6A performance levels for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short runs and includes a locking mechanism on the connectors to maintain secure physical connections. The halogen-free construction and GRS certification reflect compliance with environmental and safety standards, while the cable's shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference.

Advantages

This Cat 6A patch cable provides reliable 10 Gbps-capable performance for compatible network equipment and is constructed with S/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference. The grey TPE jacket offers flexibility and mechanical durability while remaining halogen-free for safer operation in enclosed spaces. A connector locking mechanism ensures stable plug retention in racks, patch panels, and devices, reducing the chance of accidental disconnection.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data closets and office networks
• Short-range 10 Gigabit Ethernet links between networked devices
• High-density cabling installations where secure connections are required
• Environments requiring halogen-free materials and certified recycled content

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A (S/FTP)
• Length: 1.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45 with locking mechanism
• Jacket material: TPE, halogen-free
• Shielding: Foil on pairs with overall braid (S/FTP)
• Color: Grey
• Suitable for: 10 Gigabit Ethernet (short runs), high-speed data applications

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors firmly into compatible ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network devices until the locking clip engages. Ensure the cable is not bent sharply near the connectors and avoid tight radii that could damage the conductor pairs or shielding. For rack installations, route the cable through cable management and strain-relief points to prevent stress on the connectors, and label both ends if needed for easier identification during maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its specified length for 10 Gbps links, maintain proper cable separation from power sources to reduce interference, and verify connector seating during installation. Replace cables showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors. Verify compatibility with network equipment rated for Cat 6A to ensure expected throughput.
