Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858508 White 20m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 858508 White 20m Cat6a S/FTP is a 20-metre Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a specification with S/FTP (shielded/foiled twisted pair) construction and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed to support high-speed data transmission and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference, this white cable is intended for structured cabling in offices, server rooms and home networks where reliable Gigabit or 10 Gigabit performance over short to medium runs is required.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil shield with individually shielded pairs to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, helping to maintain signal integrity in environments with multiple cables or electronic equipment. Cat6a specification provides enhanced bandwidth compared with Cat5e and Cat6, enabling higher throughput and better performance for demanding applications. The 20 m length accommodates flexible placement of networked devices without the need for additional patch panels or couplers, and the white jacket offers a discreet appearance for visible installations.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and network endpoints within offices and data closets
• Wiring workstations, IP phones and desktop equipment
• Short to medium runs for 1 Gbps and 10 Gbps local networks
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference from nearby equipment

Key specifications

• Length: 20 m
• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: White

How to use

Uncoil the cable fully before use to avoid kinks and to ensure optimal signal performance. Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet ports on your network devices, ensuring a secure click. Route the cable away from high-voltage electrical runs and sources of strong electromagnetic interference where possible. For best results in installations that require consistent performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force on the cable during installation.

Usage recommendations

For installations requiring guaranteed 10 Gigabit performance over the full 20 m, verify that connected equipment and patch panels also support Cat6a or higher standards. When running multiple cables in parallel, maintain proper separation from power cables and consider using cable management to preserve shielding effectiveness.
