Network Cable ExertisConnect 854618 RJ45 Patch Cable Cat. 6 0.15m Red

The ExertisConnect 854618 RJ45 Patch Cable Cat. 6 0.15m Red is a short, shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable local network connections where space is limited. Featuring F/UTP shielding and Cat6 performance, this patch lead supports stable signal transmission for gigabit networks while its compact 0.15 m length minimises cable clutter in rack, patch panel or workstation environments. The red jacket provides clear visual identification for network segments or specific device groups. The cable is GRS certified, indicating environmentally conscious materials and production practices.

Advantages

F/UTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference from adjacent cables and equipment, improving signal integrity in dense cabling environments. Cat 6 specification ensures support for gigabit Ethernet speeds and reduced crosstalk compared with lower categories. The very short 0.15 m length is useful for direct patching between tightly spaced ports and helps keep racks and desks tidy. The bright red colour simplifies visual identification and cable management. GRS certification denotes compliance with recyclable and responsible material handling.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports in network racks and patch panels
• Connecting devices in compact server or switch setups
• Temporary or permanent short links in office or lab environments
• Colour-coded cabling schemes for easy identification and maintenance

Key specifications

• Category: Cat 6 (supports gigabit Ethernet)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Connector: RJ45 to RJ45
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shielded around pairs with unshielded overall)
• Colour: Red
• Certification: GRS (Global Recycle Standard)

How to use

Ensure both devices or ports are powered off or in a safe state if required by your installation procedures. Insert each RJ45 connector firmly into the corresponding port until it clicks. Because of the short length, align devices or patch panel ports to avoid stress on the connectors; avoid sharp bends near the plugs. After connection, power up devices and verify link status and network speed using device indicators or network management tools.

Usage recommendations

Use this 0.15 m Cat 6 patch cable for short, direct connections in rack-mounted or closely spaced equipment to minimise cable slack and improve airflow. Avoid routing it where repeated mechanical stress or excessive bending at the connector can occur. For environments requiring additional shielding continuity, ensure connected devices or panels provide compatible grounding.
