Networking Cable ExertisConnect 858352 Green 10m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect 858352 Green 10m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed to deliver reliable high-speed wired connections for home and office networks. Built to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, supporting stable data transmission over a 10 metre run. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in a distinctive green colour, the cable is straightforward to identify and install within structured cabling, gaming setups, or multimedia workspaces.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to minimise external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk, improving signal integrity. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with lower-category cables, making it suitable for demanding network tasks. Ten metres of length provides flexibility for typical desk-to-router or equipment-to-switch connections while maintaining full gigabit and multi-gigabit capability where supported by connected hardware.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Wired home and office networks requiring reliable high-speed connections
• Gaming rigs and consoles where low latency and stable throughput are important
• Streaming 4K video and multimedia content without excessive buffering
• Transfers of large files between local devices and network storage
• Patch cabling in small server rooms, switches, and wall outlets

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 10 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your router, switch, modem or network outlet and the other end to your computer, gaming console, smart TV or network device. Ensure the connectors click into the jacks to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and pinch points; leave some slack to prevent strain on the connectors. For permanent installations, use cable management options such as clips or trunking to keep the run tidy and reduce mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, pair the cable with network equipment that supports Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet where required. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference. When deploying in patch panels or tight spaces, maintain the cable's bend radius as specified by installation standards to preserve shielding effectiveness and transmission characteristics.
