Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 858534 Orange 2m Cat6a S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 858534 Orange 2m Cat6a S/FTP is a 2-meter Ethernet patch cable built to Cat6a standard with S/FTP shielding and RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Its construction supports high-speed data transmission and reduced electromagnetic interference, while the orange jacket improves visibility and identification within structured cabling systems. The cable is intended for reliable wired connections between network devices in home, office, or small data center environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a S/FTP cable provides improved signal integrity and reduced crosstalk compared with lower-category cables thanks to its screened foil over twisted pairs and overall braided shielding. The RJ-45 terminations allow quick plug-and-play installation with standard network ports. The 2 m length offers a balance between reach and cable management for typical desk-to-switch or equipment-to-patch-panel connections, and the orange colour makes runs easier to trace and maintain.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers, and IP phones to switches or routers
• Patch panels and structured cabling within office racks
• Short runs in home networks for gaming consoles and media devices
• Environments where cable visibility and clear identification are needed

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a (augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded twisted pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Orange
• Intended use: Ethernet network patch cable for up to 10 Gbps applications over suitable infrastructure

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends, excessive tension, and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For racks and cable bundles, use appropriate cable management to maintain bend radius and prevent strain on connectors.

Usage recommendations

Use this Cat6a S/FTP patch cable for short-to-medium runs where reduced interference and clear cable identification are important. Verify that connected network equipment supports the intended data rates and maintain proper cable handling to preserve shielding effectiveness and connector integrity.
