Networking cable Connect 856911 50 m Cat6 S/FTP

The Connect 856911 50 m Cat6 S/FTP networking cable by Exertis Connect is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling in home and office networks. With Cat6 performance and S/FTP (S-STP) shielding, the cable supports high-speed data transfer while reducing crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Both ends terminate in RJ-45 connectors and the 50 m length allows flexible placement of network equipment. The grey jacket provides a neutral, professional appearance suitable for visible installations.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs to improve resistance to external noise and internal pair-to-pair interference. Cat6 specification ensures reliable transmission for gigabit Ethernet and other high-bandwidth applications over the specified distance. The pre-terminated RJ-45 connectors save time during installation and provide standard compatibility with network switches, routers and patch panels. The 50 m length reduces the need for intermediate switching points in small to medium networks.

Suitable for

• Connecting desktop computers, printers and NAS devices to a local network
• Structured patching between wall outlets and switches in home or small office
• Wired connections for streaming, VoIP and online gaming that require stable throughput
• Temporary or permanent cabling where a 50 m run is needed without splices

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on each pair)
• Length: 50 m
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, factory-terminated
• Colour: Grey

How to use

Uncoil the cable carefully to avoid kinks and allow it to relax before routing through ceilings, conduits or along baseboards. Connect each RJ-45 plug firmly into the corresponding ports on network devices such as switches, routers or computers. Avoid tight bends and maintain a minimum bend radius to preserve signal integrity. If routing near high-voltage lines or strong electromagnetic sources, increase separation distance or use grounded equipment to further reduce interference risk.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this Cat6 S/FTP cable for runs up to the specified 50 m; for longer distances consider a switch or repeater. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and that connected devices are configured for appropriate network speeds. When installing in permanent pathways, secure the cable at regular intervals and avoid fastening methods that compress or damage the jacket.
