Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854516 RJ45 Cat. 6A 5.0m Blue

The ExertisConnect Patch Cable 854516 RJ45 Cat. 6A 5.0m Blue is an S/FTP network cable designed for high-throughput Ethernet connections. Constructed with pair-in-metal-foil (PiMF) shielding and Cat 6A performance parameters, the cable supports high-speed data transmission suitable for modern wired networks. The outer jacket is made of halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) for improved safety in enclosed spaces, and the molded RJ45 plugs include latch protection to reduce accidental disconnections during installation or operation.

Advantages

This patch cable offers enhanced electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection thanks to S/FTP construction and PiMF shielding around each twisted pair, which helps maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple adjacent cables and active equipment. Cat. 6A specification ensures support for higher bandwidths and reduced crosstalk compared with lower categories. The halogen-free TPE jacket increases safety in case of fire, and the durable molded connectors with latch protection provide reliable mechanical performance over frequent plug/unplug cycles.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office workstations and network wall ports
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal patching
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection, such as dense rack installations

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A, S/FTP with PiMF shielding
• Length: 5.0 m
• Connector type: RJ45, molded with latch protection
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Color: Blue
• Applications: Ethernet up to 10 Gbps over specified distances

How to use

Connect one end of the ExertisConnect Cat. 6A patch cable to the RJ45 port of your network device and the other end to a switch, router, patch panel, or workstation port. Ensure the latch on the molded connector clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid excessive bending and mechanical strain; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cabling and avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat. 6A S/FTP cable within its rated distance for 10 Gbps links and in conjunction with compatible Cat. 6A or higher components. Store and install at temperatures consistent with TPE material specifications and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or chemical solvents that may degrade the jacket.
