Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854522 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.5m Red

The ExertisConnect 854522 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable is a 1.5 m data cable in red, intended for wired network connections that require Cat 6A performance. The cable uses S/FTP shielding and a halogen-free jacket, and it includes a locking mechanism on the connector to reduce the risk of accidental unplugging. The cable is GRS certified, indicating compliance with specified recycled content standards.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding provides protection against electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting higher data integrity in crowded cabling environments. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous gas emissions in the event of fire and is suitable for installations with stricter safety requirements. The integrated connector lock helps maintain reliable physical connections by preventing unintentional disconnection. The cable length of 1.5 m and the red color make cable routing and identification easier in patch panels or workstation setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches, routers and patch panels within office or home networks
• Structured cabling segments where Cat 6A performance is required for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short links
• Environments where visual identification of cable runs is useful (red color)
• Installations with requirements for reduced halogen emissions and improved shielding

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A
• Connector: RJ45 with locking mechanism
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Jacket material: halogen-free
• Length: 1.5 m
• Color: red
• Intended use: data networking up to Cat 6A performance
• Certification: GRS (Global Recycle Standard) compliant

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other end to the corresponding port on a patch panel, wall outlet or another network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the locking mechanism clicks to secure the connection. Route the 1.5 m cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted pair cables to preserve performance. For installations with multiple cables, use color coding and proper cable management to keep runs accessible and organized.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within its length limitations for Cat 6A links and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize potential interference. Inspect connectors periodically for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding is compromised. When planning installations, account for the cable's halogen-free characteristics where fire safety standards require reduced toxic emissions.
