Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858348 Green 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 858348 Green 2m Cat6a S/FTP is a 2 metre Ethernet patch cable designed for high-speed network connections. It uses Cat6a specification and S/FTP shielding to support Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links while reducing electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with standard RJ-45 connectors for plug-and-play compatibility with switches, routers, PCs and other networked devices. The green jacket provides visual identification within structured cabling or home and office installations.

Advantages

Shielded foiled twisted pair (S/FTP) construction provides improved protection against crosstalk and external interference compared with unshielded cables. The Cat6a category supports higher bandwidth and more reliable performance for demanding applications. Two metre length balances reach and cable management for desk-to-switch connections, and the RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The coloured jacket helps with quick visual identification when organising multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, laptops and workstations to local switches or patch panels
• Home office and small office network links where reduced interference is important
• Short runs between wall sockets and network equipment in structured cabling
• Audio/video streaming and data transfer over Gigabit and 10G Ethernet where a shielded cable is preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually screened pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the corresponding Ethernet port on your devices until you hear a click. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain a bend radius consistent with the cable diameter to preserve signal integrity. For best results in environments with potential interference, connect both ends to properly grounded equipment and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Verify link status on your devices to confirm successful connection.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium patching distances where shielded performance is required. Keep cable runs under 100 metres for full standard compliance and avoid excessive bending or pulling force during installation. If used in a shielded installation, ensure connectors and connected equipment share a common ground to maintain shielding effectiveness.
