Network Cable ExertisConnect 854650 RJ45 Patch Cable Cat. 6 2.0m Black

The ExertisConnect 854650 RJ45 Patch Cable Cat. 6 in black is a 2.0 m network cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections in home and office environments. Constructed to Cat 6 specification with F/UTP shielding, this cable reduces electromagnetic interference and helps maintain consistent signal quality for gigabit networks. The molded connectors and jacket provide a professional appearance while supporting stable data transfer between switches, routers, computers and other network devices.

Advantages

This Cat 6 patch cable offers improved performance compared to lower-category cables by supporting higher frequencies and reduced crosstalk. The F/UTP shielding helps protect against external interference in crowded cable environments. At 2.0 meters length, it provides a balance between reach and neat cable management for typical desk- and rack-level connections. The black PVC jacket delivers a discreet, professional look and basic mechanical protection for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network switches within offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch connections in small server rooms or network closets
• Linking routers, modems and network-attached storage (NAS) devices
• Temporary or permanent cabling where 2.0 m reach is sufficient

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat 6
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil shield around twisted pairs with unshielded overall jacket)
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Length: 2.0 metres
• Colour: Black
• Conductor material: stranded or solid copper (see manufacturer details)
• Suitable network speeds: up to Gigabit Ethernet (dependent on system)

How to use

Insert one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the port of the switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors click into place for a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain minimum bend radius as recommended by network installation best practices. For rack installations, use cable management accessories to keep the 2.0 m cable tidy and to avoid strain at connector ends.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat 6 F/UTP cable in environments where shielding reduces interference from nearby power lines or other network cables. Avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage electrical wiring. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and replace the cable if the jacket or plugs are compromised.
