Networking Cable ExertisConnect EXC 856910 40m Cat6 S/FTP

The ExertisConnect EXC 856910 40m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for reliable wired connections in home and office networks. With Category 6 performance and S/FTP (Shielded/Foiled Twisted Pair) construction, the cable supports high-speed data transmission and improved resistance to electromagnetic interference. The cable is fitted with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and is finished in grey to blend with standard network installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against crosstalk and external electromagnetic noise compared with unshielded cables, helping to maintain stable throughput over longer runs. Category 6 performance supports higher bandwidth and Gigabit Ethernet applications, while the 40 m length accommodates extended distances between network devices without the need for intermediate patch panels. The pre-terminated RJ-45 ends simplify installation and reduce setup time.

Suitable for

• Wired connections between routers, switches and networked devices
• Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth multimedia streaming
• Office and home network cabling that requires reduced interference
• Temporary or permanent runs where a 40 m length is required

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6
• Shielding type: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Length: 40 metres
• Connector type: RJ-45 on both ends
• Colour: Grey
• Suitable for: Gigabit Ethernet and high-bandwidth applications

How to use

Plug the RJ-45 connector on one end into your network switch, router or wall outlet and the other end into the target device such as a PC, NAS or access point. Ensure connectors are fully seated to achieve a secure connection. Route the cable along walls, under desks or through cable management channels to minimize strain and prevent kinks; avoid tight bends near the connector ends. For fixed installations, use cable clips or ties at intervals to maintain neat routing and reduce mechanical stress.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power lines or close to heavy electrical equipment to reduce potential interference. If using in environments with strong electromagnetic sources, confirm proper grounding of network equipment and use shielded patch panels or connectors where required. Verify link speed and duplex settings on network devices after installation to ensure Gigabit operation.
