Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854524 RJ45 Cat. 6A 3.0m Red

The ExertisConnect 854524 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable in red is a 3.0 m network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and device connections. Constructed with S/FTP (PiMF) shielding, the cable provides improved noise immunity and stable signal integrity for demanding Ethernet applications. The halogen-free jacket and GRS certification indicate attention to environmental and safety standards, while the built-in locking mechanism helps prevent accidental disconnects during use.

Advantages

This Cat. 6A patch cable supports higher frequency bandwidths and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables, enabling reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance over short runs. The S/FTP (PiMF) shield minimizes electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and equipment. The halogen-free outer jacket reduces hazardous gas emission in case of fire, and the cable’s locking latch increases connection stability in racks, patch panels and workstations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in data centers and wiring closets
• High-speed workstation and server connections supporting 10 Gbps Ethernet
• Environments requiring improved EMI protection, such as near industrial equipment
• Installations where halogen-free materials and environmental certification are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6A
• Connector type: RJ45
• Length: 3.0 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (PiMF) — overall foil with individually shielded pairs
• Jacket material: halogen-free compound
• Color: red
• Locking mechanism: latch on RJ45 plug to prevent accidental disconnection

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring gentle bends and avoiding sharp kinks to preserve signal performance. Insert the RJ45 connector fully into the corresponding port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Use cable management such as Velcro ties or cable trays to prevent strain on the connectors and reduce interference by separating power and data cabling where possible. For best performance, avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and maintain recommended bend radius and pull tension during installation.

Usage recommendations

Choose this Cat 6A S/FTP patch cable for short to medium-length links that require 10 Gbps capability and enhanced EMI protection. Verify port and switch compatibility for 10G operation and inspect connectors periodically for secure seating. For permanent horizontal cabling in commercial installations, follow local cabling standards and consider appropriate testing after installation to confirm link performance.
