Networking Cable Connect 856927 Yellow 20m Cat6 S/FTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 856927 is a 20 m Cat6 S/FTP patch cable in yellow, designed for reliable wired Ethernet connections. This cable combines Category 6 performance with S/FTP shielding to support high data rates while reducing electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the 20-meter length provides flexibility for linking switches, routers, PCs and other networked devices across rooms or within server racks, while the yellow jacket enhances visibility and cable management.

Advantages

Cat6 specification offers higher bandwidth and improved signal integrity compared with lower-category cables, suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and many high-bandwidth applications. The S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braided shield) construction reduces external electromagnetic interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, helping maintain stable throughput over the full 20 m length. RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports and simplify installation. The yellow outer sheath makes the cable easy to identify in multi-cable environments and aids organised routing and maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and routers in home and small office networks
• Wired Gigabit Ethernet links and high-bandwidth applications
• Temporary or permanent cabling where clear cable identification is required
• Connecting network devices across different rooms or within server cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (foil around pairs with overall braided shield)
• Length: 20 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your network device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it clear from power cables and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, use cable ties or organisers to secure and label the cable for future maintenance.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid tight bends with radii smaller than recommended for the cable, and do not stretch the cable under tension. Keep the cable away from high-power electrical lines to minimise interference. If longer runs or future upgrades to higher speeds are planned, consider measuring link performance after installation and replacing with higher-category cables where necessary.
