Networking Cable Connect 858333 Yellow 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 858333 is a 2 m Cat6a S/FTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed for high-speed Ethernet links, this cable supports the Cat6a performance class and includes S/FTP (shielded/foiled pair with overall braid) construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity in congested cabling environments. The yellow jacket provides easy visual identification for organized cable routing and quick troubleshooting.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding design improves resistance to crosstalk and external EMI, helping maintain consistent data throughput at higher bandwidths. Cat6a specification ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over typical link lengths, while factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide straightforward connectivity without additional tools. The 2 m length is convenient for desktop, patch panel, or short-run connections where a compact, reliable link is required. The distinctive yellow colour aids in cable management and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches and patch panels within office or server rack environments
• Short-run 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and high-bandwidth applications
• Audio-visual setups and structured cabling where cable identification is required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference that benefit from shielded cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual foil for each pair with overall braided shield)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, factory-terminated
• Colour: Yellow
• Use: Ethernet networking, up to 10 Gbps under Cat6a conditions

How to use

Choose appropriate routing between devices or between a device and a patch panel, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks to preserve cable performance. Insert RJ-45 connectors fully into network ports until they click to ensure a secure connection. For rack or wall-mounted installations, secure the cable with cable ties or routing clips while leaving some slack to prevent strain on the connectors. When connecting shielded components, ensure proper grounding practices are followed at patch panels or equipment to maintain shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, keep cable runs within recommended distances for Cat6a and avoid running parallel to unshielded power cables for long lengths. Inspect connectors for damage before use, and replace any cable that shows visible wear or compromised shielding. Use this yellow 2 m Cat6a S/FTP cable when a short, identifiable and shielded connection is required for reliable high-speed networking.
