Networking Cable ExertisConnect 856810 Grey 0.15m Cat6 S/UTP

The ExertisConnect 856810 Grey 0.15m Cat6 S/UTP is a short patch cable designed for reliable Ethernet connections where space is limited. It uses Cat6 wiring to support high-speed data transmission and S/UTP (shielded/Unshielded Twisted Pair) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in grey, this cable is suitable for neat, visible installations in home or office networks and for direct device-to-device links in dense equipment racks.

Advantages

This Cat6 S/UTP cable provides consistent gigabit-capable performance over short distances while offering improved protection against crosstalk and external noise thanks to its partial shielding. The compact 0.15 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal loss in close-proximity connections. Durable RJ-45 terminations ensure secure mating with network ports and reduce the chance of accidental disconnection. The neutral grey colour helps maintain a tidy appearance in mixed cabling environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting network equipment in crowded racks or server cabinets
• Linking devices on a desktop where only a short cable is required
• Patch connections between switches, routers, or patch panels in close proximity
• Temporary or permanent connections in home or small office networks

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/UTP (shielded overall with unshielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of the first device and the other connector into the second device or network port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Use the short cable to create neat, low-profile links between devices located close together; avoid excessive bending or kinking near the connector ends. For best performance, keep the cable away from strong sources of electromagnetic interference and route it alongside other shielded cables where possible.

Usage recommendations

For optimal results, use this Cat6 S/UTP cable for short, high-speed connections such as patching between adjacent switch ports or connecting devices on the same desk. Inspect connectors for debris before use and avoid pulling on the cable jacket when disconnecting to protect the RJ-45 terminations. If longer runs are required, select a cable with an appropriate length and category to match the installation requirements.
