Networking Cable Connect 858429 25m Cat6a S/FTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 25m Cat6a S/FTP is a 25-meter network patch cable designed for high-speed wired Ethernet connections. Constructed to the Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding, this cable supports reliable data transmission while reducing electromagnetic interference. Both ends are fitted with RJ-45 connectors for compatibility with standard network equipment. The cable's bright yellow jacket improves visibility and helps with cable management in complex installations.

Advantages

The cable's Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and improved performance compared with earlier categories, enabling stable Gigabit and multi-gigabit connections over longer runs. S/FTP shielding (overall braid with individually foiled pairs) helps protect signals from external noise and crosstalk, which is particularly useful in environments with multiple power or data cables. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors provide plug-and-play convenience and broad compatibility with switches, routers, patch panels and network interfaces. The 25-meter length offers flexibility for office layouts and home networks where direct runs between devices are needed.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within homes, offices and small data closets
• Connections between switches, patch panels and networked devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial
• Temporary or permanent installations requiring a visible, color-coded cable

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 25 meters
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Conductor: twisted pair copper
• Jacket color: bright yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network port of a switch, router, patch panel or device and the other RJ-45 plug to the corresponding port at the other end of the link. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and sharp edges; maintain bend radius recommended for Ethernet cables to preserve signal quality. If used in shielded installations, verify that equipment and patch panels support grounding of the cable shield for optimal performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines for long distances and use cable management accessories to prevent strain. Test the installed link with appropriate network testers to confirm expected throughput and verify shield continuity if operating in high-interference environments.
