Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854526 RJ45 Cat. 6A 10m Red

The ExertisConnect Patch Cable 854526 RJ45 Cat. 6A 10m in red is an S/FTP network patch cable engineered for high-speed copper Ethernet links. At 10 meters length it provides a balance between reach and signal integrity for structured cabling or point-to-point connections. The jacket is made from halogen-free TPE material and the connector includes a protective latch to reduce accidental disconnection. GRS certification indicates the cable meets environmental responsibility criteria for recycled content and material handling.

Advantages

This Cat. 6A cable supports high-bandwidth applications and improved alien crosstalk performance compared with lower categories, helping to sustain reliable 10GBASE-T and other high-speed Ethernet transmissions. The S/FTP construction provides individual foil shielding for pairs plus an overall braid, offering enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference. The halogen-free TPE jacket combines flame-retardant properties with lower toxic emission in case of fire. The molded connector with protective latch ensures a secure mechanical connection and consistent contact alignment.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in office or data center environments
• Structured cabling between patch panels and switches
• High-density rack installations where color coding is required
• Audio/visual setups requiring reliable, shielded copper connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A (S/FTP)
• Length: 10 m
• Connector type: RJ45, molded with protective latch
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE
• Shielding: Foil per pair with overall braid
• Color: Red
• Typical supported bandwidth: up to 500 MHz (Cat 6A performance)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network interface of a switch, router, patch panel or workstation and the other end to the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the protective latch engages to prevent accidental unplugging. Route the cable avoiding tight bends, prolonged compression, or runs parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. For wall or ceiling installations, use appropriate cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on the connectors.

Usage recommendations

For best performance maintain bend radius greater than four times the cable diameter, avoid kinking, and keep cable runs within recommended maximum lengths for the specific application. Use color-coded cables like this red variant to simplify identification in patch panels and racks. Periodically inspect connectors and jacket for signs of wear, and replace cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
