Networking Cable Connect 858411 15m Cat6a S/FTP Grey

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 858411 is a 15 m Cat6a S/FTP cable designed for high-speed wired networks. It features RJ-45 connectors on both ends and S/FTP shielding that reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The grey jacket provides a discreet, professional appearance suitable for visible runs in home and office environments. The cable supports applications that require reliable Gigabit and higher-speed performance over a longer reach than standard Cat5e.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to improve signal integrity in environments with potential interference from nearby electrical equipment or densely bundled cabling. Cat6a specification allows for higher bandwidth and better alien crosstalk performance compared with lower category cables. Factory-terminated RJ-45 connectors ensure straightforward plug-and-play installation without termination tools. The 15 m length offers flexibility for connecting devices across rooms or between rack-mounted equipment while maintaining consistent throughput.

Suitable for

• Wired Ethernet connections for desktop PCs, switches and routers
• Home office and corporate network cabling where reduced interference is required
• Streaming video, VoIP and online gaming that demand stable, low-latency links
• Temporary or semi-permanent runs between network equipment and patch panels

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil + individually foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends, factory-terminated
• Outer colour: Grey
• Typical use: Gigabit Ethernet and 10 Gigabit-ready up to specified distances for Cat6a

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the network device (for example a PC, switch or router) and the other connector to the target port such as a patch panel or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension and contact with high-power electrical lines to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal performance. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate clips or cable management accessories without compressing the jacket.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable in installations where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are required. Keep cable runs within the recommended 15 m length for this product, and avoid tightly bundling with unshielded power cables. If connecting to 10 Gbit/s networks, ensure connected equipment and patch panels support the desired speed and that overall channel specifications meet Cat6a standards.
