Networking Cable Connect 859456 15m Cat6a U/UTP

The Exertis Connect 859456 15m Cat6a U/UTP networking cable is a 15-meter Ethernet cable designed for high-speed wired connections in home and office environments. It supports Cat6a performance levels and comes terminated with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses U/UTP construction to reduce electromagnetic interference while maintaining straightforward installation and compatibility with standard network equipment. Its grey jacket provides a neutral appearance suitable for visible runs and structured cabling setups.

Advantages

This Cat6a U/UTP cable delivers performance suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over short to medium distances, offering improved headroom compared with lower-category cables. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors allow plug-and-play installation without additional termination tools. The U/UTP design reduces external interference while keeping the cable flexible enough for routing through typical cable pathways. The 15 m length covers most room-to-room and equipment-to-rack connections without the need for intermediate patch panels.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, switches and routers within offices or home networks
• Patch connections between network equipment in server rooms and racks
• High-bandwidth applications such as large file transfers and streaming
• Temporary installations or permanent runs where a 15 m length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pairs with overall unshielded jacket)
• Length: 15 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 (pre-terminated)
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network port of your device and the other connector into the corresponding port on a switch, router or wall outlet. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch clicks to establish a reliable connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and areas with strong sources of electromagnetic interference. If bundling multiple cables, avoid excessive compression to maintain signal integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with high-voltage power lines and maintain bend radii greater than the cable diameter. Use cable management accessories such as clips or trays to secure the run and reduce mechanical stress. For permanent installations where additional protection is needed, consider installing the cable within conduit or raceways.
