Networking Cable Connect 859455 10m Cat6a U/UTP

The Exertis Connect 859455 networking cable is a 10-meter Cat6a U/UTP patch lead engineered for high-speed wired connections. With RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and a U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall unshielded jacket) construction, this grey cable supports reliable data transmission for gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks where reduced crosstalk and consistent signal integrity are required. Its length and connector type make it suitable for linking switches, routers, patch panels and devices across home and office environments.

Advantages

This Cat6a cable provides enhanced bandwidth and improved near‑end crosstalk performance compared with lower category cables, enabling stable high-speed connections. The standardized RJ‑45 terminations ensure wide compatibility with network hardware, while the U/UTP design balances interference reduction and flexibility for straightforward installation. A 10 m length offers reach for typical desk-to-wall or rack-to-desk runs without excessive slack.

Suitable for

• 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet and 10 Gigabit Ethernet links
• Connecting switches, routers, patch panels and networked devices
• Home offices, small business networks and structured cabling within a room or between nearby rooms
• Temporary or permanent patching in server rooms and equipment cabinets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/UTP (overall unshielded)
• Length: 10 meters
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Color: Grey
• Performance: Suitable for up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 plug to the Ethernet port of your router, switch or patch panel and the other plug to your computer, access point or network device. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to establish a secure electrical and mechanical connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends, sharp edges, and high‑interference sources such as unshielded power cables or motors to maintain optimum signal quality.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, use the cable within a single structured channel or patching environment and avoid running it parallel to mains power cables for long distances. When installing in racks or conduits, maintain bend radius guidelines and secure cables to prevent strain on the connectors. Verify link speed and duplex settings on network equipment after installation to confirm expected throughput.
