EXERTIS CONNECT Cat.6a S/FTP PiMF Lockable Patch Cable, Grey, 3.0 m 848947

Most patch cables rely on a simple plastic clip that wears out after repeated reconnections, but this EXERTIS CONNECT model secures every link with a lockable RJ45 latch. The moment you insert the connector, the locking tab engages, preventing accidental disconnects in high-traffic racks or behind crowded desks. Built around a Cat.6a S/FTP construction with PiMF shielding, it keeps 10 Gigabit Ethernet signals clean even when bundled with power lines or other data cables.

Highlights

• Lockable RJ45 connectors on both ends – no more accidental unplugging
• Cat.6a performance up to 500 MHz and 10GBASE-T
• S/FTP overall braid plus PiMF foil on every pair for maximum EMI immunity
• Stranded AWG 26/7 copper conductors for flexibility without signal loss
• Grey PVC jacket blends into office and industrial environments
• Gold-plated contacts resist corrosion and maintain low contact resistance

In daily use

At 3 metres, this cable reaches from floor boxes to wall-mounted switches, from patch panels to servers, or across a workstation without excess slack. The lockable latch means you can route it through cable managers and still trust the connection when someone nudges the rack. Because each pair is wrapped in metal foil and the whole bundle is screened, crosstalk and alien crosstalk stay far below Cat.6a limits, so large file transfers and streaming applications run without retransmission delays.
