Exertis Connect Cat6a S/FTP Network Patch Cable, RJ45, Red, 5m, 10Gbps, 500MHz 858472

Experience blistering 10 Gigabit Ethernet speeds with this Exertis Connect Cat6a S/FTP patch cable, engineered for high-density data centers and demanding home networks. Its S/FTP shielding—foiled twisted pairs plus an overall braid—virtually eliminates alien crosstalk, while the 500 MHz bandwidth doubles the headroom of Cat6. Gold-plated RJ45 connectors and 26 AWG stranded copper conductors ensure a rock-solid, corrosion-resistant link for Power over Ethernet and beyond.

Overview

Built for professionals who refuse to compromise, this 5-meter red cable delivers consistent, error-free transmission at up to 10 Gbps. The snagless, molded strain relief protects the locking tab during frequent re-patching, while the flexible PVC jacket makes routing through racks and conduits effortless. Fully backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 networks, it’s a future-proof investment for any Ethernet infrastructure.

What stands out

• S/FTP shielding: each pair individually foil-wrapped plus overall braid for maximum EMI/RFI immunity
