Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 856864 2m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 856864 2m Cat6 S/FTP is a 2-metre Ethernet patch cable designed to deliver stable Gigabit-class performance in home and office networks. Built to Cat6 specification with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting reliable high-speed data transmission. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors and the cable is finished in a neutral grey jacket for discreet installation in workstations, server racks and residential setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually foiled pairs to provide enhanced protection against external noise and internal pair interference, improving signal integrity over the 2 m length. Cat6 performance ensures support for Gigabit Ethernet and common network protocols while maintaining low latency and stable throughput. The molded RJ-45 connectors offer secure connection and consistent contact, and the grey outer sheath balances professional appearance with resistance to everyday wear.

Suitable for

• Connecting routers, switches and network interfaces within a local area network (LAN)
• Desktop or workstation connections where a short, reliable link is needed
• Patch panels and server cabinet horizontal cabling for short runs
• Home media devices, IP cameras and smart home hubs requiring shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector securely into the corresponding port on your networking equipment until the clip clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, tight bundles with power cables, and sources of interference; keep the run within its 2 m length limit for optimal performance. For patch panel or switch installations, ensure the connector is aligned with the port and avoid excessive pulling on the cable jacket to prevent damage to the termination.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for short to medium patching runs in environments where interference or crosstalk could affect signal quality. Avoid running the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and inspect connectors periodically for secure seating. When installing in racks or panels, allow gentle service loops and secure the cable without crushing the jacket.
