Networking Cable ExertisConnect 856894 Yellow 10m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect 856894 Yellow 10m Cat6 S/FTP is a Category 6 Ethernet patch cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in home and office networks. The 10 m length provides flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between racks while the yellow jacket makes it easy to identify runs. S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil screen with individually braided shields on each pair to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with standard RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and networked equipment that support Cat6 wiring.

Advantages

This Cat6 S/FTP cable offers improved signal integrity compared with unshielded cables, helping maintain stable throughput at higher frequencies. The 10 m length covers common installation distances without introducing excessive slack, and the bright yellow colour simplifies cable management and identification in multi-cable environments. Terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends, the cable provides plug-and-play connectivity with standard Ethernet ports.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, switches and routers within offices and homes
• Patch panel to switch connections in server rooms and small data closets
• High-bandwidth applications such as video conferencing and large file transfers
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and tight kinks; maintain gentle curves to preserve shield and conductor integrity. For installations near sources of strong electromagnetic noise, orient the cable and connect to properly grounded equipment to maximise shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable in installations expecting gigabit Ethernet or higher, and avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines. When used in structured cabling systems, follow local wiring standards for grounding and cable management to preserve shielding and maintain consistent network performance.
