Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854538 RJ45 Cat. 6A 0.5m Yellow

The ExertisConnect 854538 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable is a 0.5 m S/FTP network cable designed for reliable high-speed data links in structured cabling environments. It has an RJ45 connector on each end with a locking mechanism to secure connections in network panels, switches and other equipment. The cable jacket is halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), offering increased safety and mechanical resilience, while the construction supports performance required for Cat6A installations. The bright yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels and cable runs.

Advantages

The S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies, supporting Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications over short runs. The halogen-free TPE jacket adds fire-safe properties and abrasion resistance without compromising flexibility. The integrated locking RJ45 plugs ensure secure mating and limit accidental disconnection. The compact 0.5 m length is suited for tidy, short patch connections in racks and workstations.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data cabinets
• Connecting network ports to nearby equipment in server rooms
• Short horizontal connections in office or workstation setups
• Environments requiring clear cable identification and color coding

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A (S/FTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with locking mechanism
• Jacket material: Halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
• Shielding: Foil shielded pairs with overall braid (S/FTP)
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of a switch, router or patch panel and the other RJ45 plug to the target device or port. Ensure the locking clip is fully engaged to prevent accidental removal. Route the cable along intended pathways, avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain recommended bend radius for Category 6A performance. For best results, keep the patch cable separate from high-voltage power cables to minimize potential interference.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.5 m Cat. 6A patch cable for short, high-performance connections within racks and workstations. Match cable shielding and grounding practices with your existing installation to maintain EMC performance, and use color-coded cables to simplify maintenance and identification.
