Networking Cable Connect 858541 25m Cat6a S/FTP Orange

The Networking Cable Connect 858541 25m Cat6a S/FTP Orange is a 25-metre Ethernet cable designed to support high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and patching environments. Compliant with Cat6a performance parameters and equipped with S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces crosstalk and external interference while providing reliable gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. Fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and finished in a high-visibility orange jacket, the cable is suitable for rack, floor and wall installations where identification and signal integrity are important.

Advantages

The S/FTP (shielded foil with individual pair shielding) construction improves noise immunity and helps maintain signal quality over the full 25 m length. Cat6a performance enables higher bandwidth and better return loss characteristics compared with lower category cables. Factory-terminated RJ-45 plugs provide plug-and-play compatibility with standard network equipment. The bright orange outer jacket enhances visibility for cable management and reduces the risk of accidental disconnection during maintenance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and horizontal cabling
• Office and data center patching where shielded cabling is required
• Audio/visual installations requiring reduced electromagnetic interference
• Temporary or permanent installations needing easily identifiable cable runs

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a performance class
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid or foil with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 25 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45
• Colour: Orange
• Application: Ethernet networking up to 10 Gbps over specified distances

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and excessive bending; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius during installation. Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the network ports of switches, routers, patch panels or network interfaces. For permanent installations, secure the cable along trays or cable ties while preserving shielding continuity and avoiding crushing of the jacket. When connecting to shielded equipment, ensure proper grounding of the shielding if required by the installation environment.

Usage recommendations

Use the cable within standard temperature and mechanical constraints; avoid running it parallel to high-voltage power lines to minimise interference. For installations requiring full shield performance, verify that connected hardware supports shield termination and grounding. Label both ends for easier maintenance and route cables so that airflow and access to equipment are not obstructed.
