Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854520 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.5m Red

The ExertisConnect 854520 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.5m Patch Cable in red is a short, high-performance network cable intended for secure and reliable Ethernet connections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission at higher speeds. The halogen-free jacket improves safety in enclosed environments, and the RJ45 connectors feature a locking mechanism to maintain secure mating in patch panels, switches, and workstations.

Advantages

This Cat. 6A patch cable delivers enhanced noise suppression through its S/FTP design, which combines an overall shield with individually foiled pairs to limit interference. The short 0.5 m length minimizes latency and signal loss for point-to-point connections in rack or desk setups. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces harmful emissions in case of fire, and the molded RJ45 connectors with locking clips ensure firm, vibration-resistant connections. The bright red color helps with fast visual identification and cable management in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in server racks and patch panels over short distances
• Linking switches, routers, and workstations on LANs where minimal interference is required
• Temporary or permanent desk-to-switch connections in offices and data closets
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for safety compliance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6A, suitable for 10 GBASE-T and high-speed Ethernet
• Connector type: RJ45 with locking clip for secure fit
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Color: red
• Certification: GRS-certified for recycled content and environmental considerations

How to use

Strip unnecessary packaging and inspect both RJ45 connectors for damage before installation. Plug each RJ45 end into the corresponding port on network devices until the locking clip engages. For patch panel installations, route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the bend radius recommended for Cat 6A to preserve performance. When disconnecting, press the locking clip to release the connector and pull straight out to prevent connector damage.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat 6A patch cable for short, high-performance links where interference suppression and safety are priorities. Avoid tight bends and excessive mechanical strain, keep the cable separate from high-voltage power lines where possible, and use the colored jacket to organize and identify network segments within racks or work areas.
