Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854543 RJ45 Cat. 6A 5.0m Yellow

The ExertisConnect 854543 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable is a 5.0 m S/FTP network lead designed for stable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. The cable uses PiMF (pairs in metal foil) shielding and an overall drain to reduce electromagnetic interference, and is terminated with standardized RJ45 connectors featuring a latch lock to avoid accidental unplugging. The yellow TPE outer jacket is halogen-free and the cable carries GRS certification, meeting environmental and safety requirements for installations in both residential and commercial spaces.

Advantages

The cable supports Cat 6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over its full 5.0 m length, with S/FTP construction that improves signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The TPE halogen-free jacket offers mechanical flexibility and fire-safe behavior, while the built-in latch lock enhances connector retention. PiMF shielding and an integrated drain conductor provide better protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded alternatives.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in offices and data closets
• Patch panels and wall outlets in structured cabling systems
• Home networks requiring high-speed wired links for media streaming and gaming
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Category: Cat. 6A (S/FTP)
• Length: 5.0 m
• Conductor shielding: PiMF (pairs in metal foil) with overall drain
• Connector type: RJ45 with locking latch
• Outer jacket material: TPE, halogen-free
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router, NIC) and the other end to the corresponding patch panel, wall socket or another network device. Ensure that connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the cable avoiding tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radii recommended for Cat 6A cabling to preserve signal performance. For installations in shielded systems, ensure proper grounding of the cable shields at the installation points.

Usage recommendations

Use the ExertisConnect Cat. 6A patch cable for short to medium-length fixed links within racks, between equipment and patch panels, or for visible runs where color coding simplifies identification. Avoid exceeding recommended pull tensions during installation and keep the cable away from high-voltage power lines to minimize interference. For shielded cabling environments, verify shield continuity and grounding to achieve optimal EMI protection.
