Networking Cable Connect 858485 1.5m Cat6a S/FTP Black

The Exertis Connect 858485 is a 1.5 m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors at both ends and an overall shielded construction to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Its black outer jacket provides a discreet appearance suitable for structured cabling in home and office environments while supporting bandwidth-intensive applications such as streaming, gaming and large file transfers.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding layer improves signal integrity in environments with multiple electronic devices by blocking external interference and limiting pair-to-pair crosstalk. Cat6a specification allows for increased bandwidth and better performance at higher frequencies compared with earlier categories. The 1.5 m length offers a compact, manageable connection between nearby network equipment without excess cable slack. Standard RJ-45 terminations ensure compatibility with a wide range of switches, routers, network cards and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop PCs, laptops and network printers to a local network
• Linking gaming consoles and smart TVs to high-speed routers
• Short patch runs between wall outlets and network switches in small offices
• Temporary or permanent connections in home entertainment setups

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Black
• Intended use: Ethernet LAN connections, high-bandwidth data transmission

How to use

Insert the RJ-45 connector into the Ethernet port of your device and the other end into the corresponding port on a router, switch or wall outlet. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive strain at the terminations; maintain gentle curves to preserve shielding and conductor integrity. For best performance, keep the cable away from sources of strong electromagnetic noise such as unshielded power supplies or large motors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP cable for short to medium patch runs where higher frequency performance and reduced interference are required. For permanent installations, verify that connected equipment supports Cat6a performance levels and avoid routing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines to maintain signal quality.
