Patch Cable ExertisConnect 854558 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.5m White

The ExertisConnect Patch Cable 854558 RJ45 Cat. 6A 1.5m White is a shielded S/FTP network cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. It provides 1.5 metres of reach with a white halogen-free TPE jacket and a molded plug with protective latch, suitable for connecting computers, switches, routers and other networked devices. The cable is GRS certified, indicating compliance with recognised environmental and recycling standards.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable data transmission at elevated frequencies, while Cat. 6A specification supports higher bandwidths compared to lower categories. The halogen-free TPE jacket reduces harmful emissions in the event of a fire and adds mechanical flexibility. A molded plug with protective latch improves connector durability and retention in busy patch panels or desktop ports. GRS certification reflects reduced environmental impact during production and end-of-life handling.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between desktop or rack-mounted network devices
• Office workstations, VoIP phones and IP cameras
• Patch panels and switch ports in structured cabling installations
• Environments requiring halogen-free cabling for safety regulations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A (S/FTP, shielded, foil-wrapped pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connector: RJ45 molded plug with protective latch
• Jacket material: Halogen-free TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)
• Colour: White
• Certification: GRS (Global Recycling Standard)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port of your device and the other plug to the switch, router or patch panel port. Ensure the protective latch clicks into place to secure the connection. Route the cable so it is not pinched or sharply bent; follow standard cable management practices in racks and along desks. No special tools are required for normal use, as the cable comes pre-terminated with RJ45 connectors.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid kinking the cable and maintain bends with a radius larger than the cable diameter. Keep the cable separated from heavy power cabling to reduce possible interference. Use the 1.5 m length for short patching runs and desk connections; for longer runs, select an appropriately longer Cat. 6A cable. Inspect connectors periodically for wear or damage and replace the cable if shielding or jacket integrity is compromised.
