Networking Cable Connect 858513 Purple 0.15m Cat6a S/FTP

The Exertis Connect 858513 Purple 0.15m Cat6a S/FTP networking cable is a short patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. Constructed to Cat6a specification with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends, the cable supports reliable data transmission and effective protection against electromagnetic and crosstalk interference. Its 0.15 m length is suitable for close-proximity connections in patch panels, network switches, and desktop setups, while the purple jacket provides clear visual identification within cabling bundles.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid) construction reduces external interference and minimizes pair-to-pair crosstalk, helping to maintain signal integrity at higher frequencies. Cat6a performance ensures support for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short distances, and the compact 0.15 m length reduces excess cable clutter. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide consistent contact and corrosion resistance for stable long-term connections. The colored jacket aids cable management and quick identification in dense installations.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between network devices (switch-to-switch, switch-to-patch panel)
• High-density racks and patch panels where minimal cable slack is required
• Desktop or workstation connections requiring a short, identifiable cable
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 0.15 m
• Color: Purple
• Supported speeds: Up to 10 Gbps over suitable distances
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 connector to the appropriate port on your network device and the other end to the corresponding port on the second device. For patch panel installations, insert the connectors into the panel ports or switch ports until the latch clicks, ensuring a secure connection. Because the cable is only 0.15 m long, route it without bending sharply near the connectors and avoid placing strain on the plugs. Verify link status on your devices to confirm successful connectivity.

Usage recommendations

Use this short Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for close-proximity connections in racks, switches, and desktop setups where a shielded solution and clear color coding improve organization and signal reliability. Avoid tight bends and excessive tension; maintain standard bend radius recommendations for Ethernet cabling to preserve performance.
