Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854512 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.0m Blue

The ExertisConnect 854512 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.0m Blue patch cable is a shielded Ethernet cable engineered for stable high-speed data transmission in structured network environments. Featuring S/FTP shielding and Pair in Metal Foil (PiMF) construction, the cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference to support reliable links for devices requiring Gigabit and 10 Gigabit connectivity. The 1.0 m length and blue jacket allow for convenient routing and clear visual identification in racks, patch panels, and desktop connections. The cable is halogen-free and GRS-certified, indicating compliance with reduced halogen emissions and recycled material standards for environmentally conscious installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combined with PiMF technology provides improved protection against alien crosstalk and EMI compared with unshielded alternatives. Cat. 6A performance is suitable for higher bandwidth applications and ensures backward compatibility with lower-category ports. The halogen-free jacket lowers toxic gas emission in case of fire, and the GRS certification reflects partial use of recycled materials. The 1.0 m length balances flexibility and neat cable management while the blue color simplifies identification among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data-center racks
• Short runs between wall outlets and desktop devices such as PCs and VoIP phones
• High-speed backbone or aggregation links within a structured cabling channel
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity are required

How to use

Install the patch cable by firmly inserting each RJ45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Use the cable for short interconnects in patch panels, switch ports, or directly between devices, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. When routing within trays or conduits, maintain bend radius and keep shielded cables away from high-voltage power lines where possible to preserve signal integrity. Ensure connectors are fully seated and test links with appropriate network testers when deploying in critical infrastructure.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat. 6A shielded cable in combination with shielded ports and components, maintain recommended bend radius, and avoid running parallel to unshielded power cabling. Periodically inspect connectors for damage and replace cables showing visible wear to maintain reliable network operation.
