Network Cable ExertisConnect 854620 RJ45 Patch Cable Cat. 6 0.5m Red

The ExertisConnect 854620 RJ45 patch cable Cat. 6 0.5m in red is a short, shielded Ethernet cable intended for high-speed network connections. Constructed to Cat 6 performance levels with F/UTP shielding, the cable supports reliable data transmission over short distances and reduces electromagnetic interference in mixed-cable installations. Its compact 0.5 m length and bright red jacket make it convenient for patch panels, switch-to-device links and structured cabling where color-coding and minimal slack are important.

Advantages

The cable provides Cat 6 performance suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and reduced crosstalk compared to lower category cables. F/UTP shielding adds a layer of protection against external electromagnetic interference, improving signal stability in environments with nearby power lines or dense cabling. The short 0.5 m length limits excess cable management, and the red outer jacket offers easy identification in complex networks. Standard RJ45 connectors ensure compatibility with typical network equipment.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches to servers or desktops across short distances
• Patching between panels and rack-mounted switches in server rooms
• Color-coded runs for organized network installations
• Home office or small office workstation connections

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6 performance level
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil overall shield with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Connector type: RJ45 on both ends
• Jacket color: Red
• Typical application: Ethernet networks up to Gigabit speeds

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or device and the other connector into the corresponding port on the target device or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure mechanical connection. Use the cable for short point-to-point links where minimal excess length is required; avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines or heat sources to preserve shielding effectiveness and cable longevity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 6 F/UTP patch cable in environments where short, clearly identified connections are needed. Maintain bend radii consistent with Ethernet cabling best practices and avoid repeated flexing near connector ends. For longer runs or environments with very high interference, consider fully shielded cables or higher-category cabling as appropriate.
