Patch Cable ExertisConnect 858751 RJ45 Cat. 6A 2.0m Grey

The ExertisConnect Patch Cable 858751 RJ45 Cat. 6A 2.0m Grey is a 2.0 metre S/FTP network cable engineered for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling environments. Constructed with halogen-free materials, the cable supports elevated bandwidth and offers shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference. The fitted RJ45 connectors include a locking mechanism for secure mating in network ports and ensure consistent contact over repeated insertions.

Advantages

This Cat. 6A patch cable provides improved signal integrity for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications through screened foil twisted pair (S/FTP) construction. The halogen-free jacket reduces hazardous emissions in the event of fire and meets safety considerations for enclosed installations. A robust connector design with a locking clip prevents accidental disconnection while maintaining easy release when required. The 2.0 m length balances reach and cable management in racks, patch panels, workstations and office environments.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections between switches, routers and servers
• Patch panel to switch or workstation connectivity in data centers and comms rooms
• Office network cabling and point-to-point links requiring shielded cables
• Environments where halogen-free cabling is preferred for safety regulations

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat. 6A (augmented)
• Conductor pairing and shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 2.0 metres
• Connector type: RJ45 plug with locking clip
• Outer jacket: halogen-free material
• Color: grey

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding network port until the locking mechanism clicks into place to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and prolonged compression, and keep it separated from high-power electrical lines where possible to minimise interference. For removal, depress the locking clip and pull the connector straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port. Use cable ties or management panels to secure excess length and maintain tidy routing in racks and desks.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat. 6A S/FTP cable in shielded or screened installations and terminate both ends with compatible RJ45 ports designed for screened cables. Avoid kinking the cable and maintain the minimum bend radius specified by standard cabling guidelines. Inspect connectors periodically for wear if the cable is frequently reconnected.
