Networking Cable Connect 858420 1m Cat6a S/FTP Yellow

The Exertis Connect 858420 is a 1 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable in yellow, equipped with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed to support high-speed data transmission, the cable adheres to the Cat6a standard and incorporates S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The compact 1-meter length is intended for short runs between devices in racks, workstations, patch panels or network switches, while the bright yellow jacket provides quick visual identification in multi-cable installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding offers improved protection against external interference and limits pair-to-pair crosstalk, supporting more stable throughput at higher frequencies. The Cat6a specification enables performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. Terminated with standard RJ-45 plugs, the cable is compatible with common networking equipment and requires no additional adapters. The yellow outer jacket aids cable management and troubleshooting by making the cable easy to locate among other runs.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects between switches, patch panels and servers
• Workstation or desk connections to wall outlets or switches
• Temporary or permanent cabling in data cabinets and racks
• Environments where cable identification by color is needed

Key specifications

• Cable standard: Cat6a
• Topology/shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 1 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Color: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of the device and the other plug to the corresponding port on the switch, router or wall jack. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until a click is felt to secure the link. Route the cable to avoid tight bends or pinching; maintain a bending radius appropriate for Cat6a cable to preserve signal integrity. For installation in cabinets or behind equipment, use appropriate cable ties or labels to keep runs organized and identifiable.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and keep it away from strong electromagnetic sources. Use the 1 m length for direct device-to-device connections rather than long backbone runs. Test link speed after installation to confirm expected throughput and, if used in structured cabling, follow site grounding and shielding practices to maintain S/FTP effectiveness.
