Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858449 0.15m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 858449 0.15m Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a short patch lead designed for high-performance Ethernet connections in confined spaces. Constructed to Cat6a specifications with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors at both ends, the cable provides stable data transmission and protection against electromagnetic interference. Its compact 0.15 m length makes it suitable for linking devices within racks, between adjacent ports on switches or patch panels, and for tidy desktop setups where cable slack must be minimized.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding structure combines an overall foil with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and outside interference, improving signal integrity at higher data rates. Cat6a specification support enables reliable operation for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances. The short length reduces cable clutter and latency caused by unnecessary cable loops, while RJ-45 connectors ensure compatibility with standard networking equipment. The blue jacket provides easy visual identification in multi-cable environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting adjacent ports on switches, patch panels, or routers
• Short links inside server racks or network cabinets
• Directly connecting devices on a desktop with minimal cable slack
• Environments where reduced electromagnetic interference is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Ensure both network ports are powered down or that hot-plugging is supported by your devices before connecting. Insert each RJ-45 connector firmly into the respective port until the latch clicks. Use the cable to replace longer patch leads where ports are close together or to tidy connections within network racks. For best performance, avoid tight bends at the connector ends and maintain the natural curvature of the cable over its short length.

Usage recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, keep the S/FTP cable separated from strong power sources and run it alongside similarly shielded cables when possible. Use short Cat6a patch cables like this 0.15 m lead for direct, high-speed connections between nearby devices; reserve longer cables for greater distances. Regularly inspect connectors for damage and ensure latches engage fully to maintain consistent network performance.
