Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858441 Green 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 858441 Green 7.5m Cat6a S/FTP is a network patch cable built to support high-speed Ethernet connections. Meeting Cat6a performance parameters, the cable uses S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, and comes terminated with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. Its 7.5 metre length and green jacket make it practical for organised wiring runs in home, office, and data-closet environments.

Advantages

S/FTP (shielded foil over each pair plus overall braid) construction reduces external noise and pair-to-pair interference, improving signal integrity for demanding applications. The Cat6a specification supports higher bandwidth and better return loss performance compared with lower category cables, enabling reliable 10 Gbps links at shorter or moderate distances. Pre‑installed RJ‑45 connectors provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard networking equipment while the coloured jacket helps with cable identification and tidy cable management.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections within small offices or server rooms
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels, and networked devices
• Structured cabling where shielded cable is required to reduce interference
• Home networks requiring higher bandwidth for streaming or gaming

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (individual pair foil with overall braid)
• Length: 7.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Green

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring bends are gentle and the minimum bend radius is respected to avoid damaging the internal pairs or shielding. Plug the RJ‑45 connectors firmly into the corresponding ports on switches, routers, patch panels, or computers until they click. For permanent or semi-permanent installations, secure the cable along trays or within cable management channels using appropriate fasteners that do not compress the jacket excessively. When connecting shielded components, ensure proper grounding of the cable ends if the network design or equipment requires it.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for links where reduced interference and higher bandwidth are necessary. Avoid running the cable parallel and in close proximity to high-voltage power lines or sources of strong electromagnetic noise. Inspect connector seating and test end-to-end performance with a cable tester if used in critical network segments.
