EXSYS Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF Patch Cable, Grey, 5.0 m (EX-K6181-5)

Network performance degrades when cables fail to shield against EMI and crosstalk, especially in dense installations. The EXSYS EX-K6181-5 Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF patch cable solves this with dual shielding: each twisted pair is wrapped in metal foil (PiMF) and the entire bundle is protected by a braided screen (SSTP). This 5-meter grey cable delivers reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet up to 250 MHz, making it ideal for high-speed LAN connections in offices, data centers, and industrial environments.

Who is it for

IT professionals, network administrators, and power users who need a robust, shielded patch cable for connecting servers, switches, routers, and workstations. It is especially suited for environments with high electromagnetic interference, such as near power lines, motors, or radio equipment. Home users with gigabit or multi-gig internet will also benefit from its superior signal integrity.
