Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858340 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The ExertisConnect EXC 858340 25m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for wired networks requiring higher bandwidth and reduced interference. This 25 meter Cat6a cable uses S/FTP (shielded foil with overall braid) construction and is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The yellow jacket provides clear visual identification in patch panels, racks or mixed-cable environments and the cable is intended for reliable high-speed data transfer in home and office networks.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces alien crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, improving signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6a specification supports higher data rates and extended bandwidth compared with lower category cables, while the RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network devices. The 25 m length offers flexibility for longer runs without needing additional couplers, and the yellow colour helps with cable management and quick identification during installation or maintenance.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office or server room environments
• High-speed wired connections for workstations, NAS devices and networked printers
• Wiring for VoIP phones and video conferencing endpoints where interference immunity is needed
• Temporary or semi-permanent cabling in event setups and media production

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil with overall braid)
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port until it clicks to ensure a secure connection. For best performance, maintain proper cable separation from mains power and avoid tight coils; if bundling multiple cables together, ensure adequate ventilation and do not exceed recommended bend radius. Test the link with a network tester or by verifying device connectivity and throughput after installation.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for runs up to 25 m where improved shielding and higher bandwidth are required. For permanent installations in plenum or riser spaces, verify local building codes and cable rating; if in doubt, choose a cable with the required fire-safety rating. Regularly inspect connectors for wear and secure seating to maintain reliable network performance.
