Networking Cable ExertisConnect 856924 Black 15m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect 856924 Black 15m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable delivers shielded, high-bandwidth connectivity for wired local area networks. Constructed to Cat6 performance standards, this 15-metre cable uses S/FTP shielding and stranded conductors terminated with RJ-45 plugs on both ends to support reliable data transmission and reduce electromagnetic interference. The black jacket provides a discreet appearance for office or home installations while maintaining flexibility for routing and cable management.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually foiled pairs to minimize crosstalk and external interference, improving signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Cat6 specification enables support for Gigabit Ethernet speeds and improved frequency response compared with lower-category cables. The 15 m length covers longer runs without intermediate patching, and the RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard network devices such as switches, routers and network interface cards.

Suitable for

• Wired Gigabit Ethernet connections for home or small office
• Connecting network switches, routers and NAS devices over moderate distances
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference near power lines or multiple network bundles
• Cable runs requiring a longer single-cable solution without additional patch panels

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 15 metres
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Conductor type: stranded conductors for flexibility
• Jacket color: black
• Supported network speeds: up to Gigabit Ethernet (depending on network equipment and conditions)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of your router, switch or modem and the other plug to the network device such as a PC, laptop or NAS. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid tight bends or kinks along the cable length to preserve signal quality. For wall routing, use appropriate clips or cable management channels and maintain separation from mains power lines where possible to reduce interference.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii larger than the cable diameter. Use the ExertisConnect 15m Cat6 S/FTP cable for direct device-to-device links or single-run installations; if installing in permanent in-wall or plenum spaces, verify local fire and building codes and consider using in-wall rated cable if required.
