Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 857943 Black 1.5m Cat6 F/UTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 857943 Black 1.5m Cat6 F/UTP is a network patch cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office environments. This Cat6 cable supports high-speed data transmission and incorporates F/UTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference, while standard RJ‑45 connectors on both ends ensure compatibility with routers, switches, network cards and other Ethernet-enabled devices. The black jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible installations and patch panels.

Advantages

The F/UTP shielding improves signal stability by combining an overall foil shield with unshielded twisted pairs, helping to minimise crosstalk and external interference in typical indoor networking scenarios. Cat6 specification allows for higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with earlier categories, supporting Gigabit Ethernet and common office networking demands. The 1.5 m length offers a balance between reach and tidy cable management for desktops, wall-mounted equipment or short runs between patch panels and devices.

Suitable for

• Connecting PCs, laptops and printers to switches or routers
• Patch panel to switch or wall outlet connections in small offices
• Home network connections for streaming and online gaming
• Temporary or semi-permanent workstation cabling where a short run is needed

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: F/UTP (overall foil shield with UTP pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Black
• Intended use: Ethernet data transmission (LAN)

How to use

Plug one RJ‑45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other into the port of a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. For best performance, avoid sharp bends, kinks or compressing the cable under furniture, and keep the cable routed away from sources of strong electromagnetic interference such as large motors or fluorescent ballasts. If using in a structured cabling setup, route the cable through cable management channels or retainers to maintain neatness and ease of service.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Gigabit performance, use this Cat6 F/UTP cable for short to medium runs up to the specified length, and pair it with compatible Cat6 or higher network equipment. Inspect connectors periodically for dust or damage and replace the cable if physical damage or intermittent connectivity occurs.
