Networking Cable ExertisConnect 856856 Red 1.5m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect 856856 Red 1.5m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a shielded ethernet cable engineered for reliable wired connections. Compliant with Cat6 performance, this 1.5 metre cable uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and terminates with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends for compatibility with switches, routers, network cards and patch panels. The red jacket provides clear visual identification in cabling installations and helps separate networks or signal types in dense setups.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individual pair shielding to deliver improved protection against external noise and near‑end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. The Cat6 specification supports higher frequency transmission and improved headroom for gigabit Ethernet and some 10 Gigabit applications over shorter runs. The 1.5 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management for desktop, rack or wall‑mounted equipment. Standard RJ‑45 connectors ensure plug‑and‑play compatibility with common network devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, printers and VoIP phones to switches or routers
• Patching between rack equipment and network panels in small server rooms
• Short runs requiring reduced EMI in office or home environments
• Color-coded cabling for organized network layouts

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6 performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 1.5 metres
• Cable color: red
• Application: Ethernet LAN, gigabit networking

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the network port of your switch, router or device and insert the other connector into the corresponding port. Ensure connectors fully seat until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, secure excess length with cable ties or management panels to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable for gigabit Ethernet connections and short 10 Gigabit links where Cat6 is appropriate; avoid running the cable parallel and close to high‑power electrical cables to preserve shielding effectiveness. For best results in shielded installations, ensure connected equipment is properly grounded.
