Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 856870 Black 2m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 856870 is a 2 m Cat6 networking cable in black with S/FTP (S‑STP) shielding and RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. Designed for structured cabling and device connections, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and offers improved protection against electromagnetic interference compared with unshielded alternatives. Its Cat6 specification makes it suitable for modern Ethernet networks that require reliable performance for video streaming, online collaboration and file transfers.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding reduces external electromagnetic interference and crosstalk between pairs, helping to maintain signal integrity over the full 2 m length. The RJ‑45 terminations provide wide compatibility with switches, routers, network interface cards and patch panels. The cable's Cat6 rating supports higher bandwidth and lower attenuation than earlier category cables, delivering consistent throughput in typical home and office setups. The black outer jacket offers a neutral, professional appearance and easier cable management in mixed environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and printers to a router or switch
• Patching between wall outlets and network equipment in small offices
• Home entertainment systems requiring stable wired connections for streaming
• Short runs in server rooms and network racks where shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ‑45 to RJ‑45
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until it clicks, ensuring secure mechanical and electrical contact. Use the cable for point‑to‑point connections between network devices such as switches, routers, or computers. For best signal quality, avoid tightly coiling the cable, exposing it to sharp bends, or running it parallel and close to large power cables for long distances. Confirm link status on connected devices to verify successful connection and negotiate appropriate link speed.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use the ExertisConnect Cat6 cable for runs up to its length and within typical office/home environments; choose shielded cabling when installing near sources of electromagnetic interference and maintain proper bend radius to preserve shielding and conductor integrity.
