Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854552 RJ45 Cat. 6A 5.0m Black

The ExertisConnect 854552 RJ45 Cat. 6A patch cable 5.0m in black is a shielded network cable designed to deliver reliable, high-speed connectivity for structured cabling and device interconnections. Constructed with S/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and halogen-free materials for improved safety, this cable supports high-frequency transmissions and maintains signal integrity across a 5.0 metre reach. Its Cat. 6A specification is suitable for modern Ethernet applications that require greater bandwidth and reduced crosstalk compared with lower categories.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides layered protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, helping preserve throughput in crowded cable environments. The halogen-free jacket reduces toxic emissions in case of fire, supporting safer installations in offices and public buildings. The cable’s Cat. 6A performance enables stable operation at higher data rates and frequencies, while the 5.0 m length and black finish offer practical flexibility and a discreet appearance for rack, desk, or wall-mounted equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data centre racks
• High-speed Ethernet links for workstation and server connections
• Audio-visual installations requiring shielded cabling to reduce interference
• Structured cabling runs where safety-rated, halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A suitable for high-frequency Ethernet transmissions
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 5.0 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket: halogen-free outer sheath
• Colour: black
• Typical use: patch cable for horizontal and equipment connections

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router, computer or patch panel, and the other end into the corresponding port of the connected device. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve reliable electrical contact. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and proximity to high-voltage power lines to maintain signal quality. For installations in shared conduits or tray systems, account for bend radius and bundle fill guidelines appropriate for shielded Cat. 6A cabling.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat. 6A S/FTP patch cable in combination with compatible shielded RJ45 ports and grounded patch panels. Avoid kinking or tightly coiling the cable, and maintain a minimum bend radius equal to four times the cable diameter. Periodically inspect connectors for debris and ensure shielding continuity in installations requiring grounding.
