Networking Cable Connect 859550 2m Cat6a F/UTP

The Exertis Connect Networking Cable 859550 is a 2 m Cat6a F/UTP patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. Designed to support high-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6a performance levels, this green cable includes foil shielding around the twisted pairs (F/UTP) to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in crowded cable environments. Its two-meter length provides flexibility for desk, rack or wall-mounted installations where a short to medium reach is required.

Advantages

The cable’s Cat6a specification enables improved bandwidth and reliable data transmission at higher frequencies compared with Cat5e and Cat6 standards. Foil shielding (F/UTP) helps minimize external interference, improving signal integrity in installations near power lines or other cabling. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure consistent contact and corrosion resistance, while the compact 2 m length reduces excess cable clutter in confined spaces. The green jacket makes it easier to identify and manage specific connections in multi-cable setups.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and network devices within racks or workstations
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to Cat6a performance
• Office or home networks where shielding is beneficial to reduce interference
• Short to medium horizontal runs and patching in telecom closets

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: F/UTP (foil around twisted pairs)
• Connectors: RJ-45 on both ends
• Length: 2 m
• Jacket colour: Green

How to use

Insert each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks into place. Use the cable for direct device-to-device connections such as from a switch to a server, from a patch panel to a switch, or between a wall outlet and a workstation. Avoid sharp bends with radii smaller than the cable’s bend tolerance and do not pinch the cable in doors or heavy equipment. For installations where the cable will be routed alongside power lines, maintain recommended separation distances or use conduit to preserve shielding effectiveness.

Usage recommendations

For best performance, verify that connected equipment supports Cat6a speeds and that patch panels, keystone jacks and switch ports are installed and rated for Cat6a. Label both ends when used in structured cabling to simplify maintenance and consider using cable management accessories to prevent strain on connectors.
