Networking Cable Connect 858419 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable Connect 858419 0.5m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow is a short patch cable designed for high-speed data transmission in local networks. Compliant with Cat6a performance parameters and featuring S/FTP (Shielded Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, this 0.5 m cable provides improved protection against electromagnetic interference. Both ends are terminated with RJ-45 connectors and the bright yellow jacket helps visually identify connections in racks, patch panels and desktop setups.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, supporting reliable signal integrity for high-bandwidth applications. The Cat6a specification allows for performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. A compact 0.5 m length minimizes excess cabling and clutter in patching environments, while the RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with standard Ethernet ports. The vivid yellow outer jacket improves cable management by making the cable easy to trace among multiple runs.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches and patch panels in server rooms or telecom cabinets
• Desktop and workstation links where minimal cable slack is required
• High-speed LAN segments requiring Cat6a performance and reduced interference
• Environments where colored cabling simplifies identification and organization

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 m
• Category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Yellow
• Use: Ethernet networking, suitable for up to 10 Gbps at supported distances

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port on the paired device. Ensure connectors are fully seated and latches click into place to maintain a stable link. Use the 0.5 m length for tidy patching inside racks or for short point-to-point links where cable excess should be avoided. Avoid tight bends or kinks near the connector to preserve shielding and performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, install the cable in environments that maintain recommended bend radius and avoid prolonged exposure to mechanical stress. Use colored cabling schemes to simplify maintenance and document port mappings to make future changes easier. Verify link speed and duplex settings on connected devices after installation to confirm optimal performance.
