EXSYS Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF patch kábel, sivý, 10,0 m (EX-K6181-10)

Network administrators upgrading a high-density office floor to 10 Gigabit Ethernet often face a silent enemy: electromagnetic interference from power lines, fluorescent lighting, and adjacent cabling. The EXSYS Cat. 6 SSTP/PiMF patch cable in grey tackles that problem head-on. At 10 metres, it bridges the gap between patch panels and workstations, or between switches and servers, without signal degradation. Each twisted pair is individually wrapped in metal foil (PiMF), and the entire bundle is shielded with a braided screen (SSTP). This double-layer defence keeps crosstalk and alien noise at bay, ensuring your 10GBASE-T links run at full speed. The snagless boot protects the locking tab during frequent moves, while gold-plated contacts resist corrosion for years of reliable connections.

Key specifications

• Category 6 performance, certified to TIA/EIA-568-B.2-1
• SSTP/PiMF shielding: braided screen plus foil per pair
• Supports 10GBASE-T up to 250 MHz bandwidth
• Stranded copper conductors, AWG 27/7, for flexibility
• RJ45 male to RJ45 male, T568B straight-through pinout
• Snagless moulded boot with 50µm gold-plated contacts
• Grey PVC jacket, 10.0 m length
• Operating temperature: -20°C to 60°C

Why choose it

In electrically noisy environments, unshielded cables can drop packets or force link renegotiation. This EXSYS patch cable eliminates those headaches. The PiMF construction isolates each pair, while the overall braid provides a low-impedance path to ground. The result is a stable 10 Gbps connection even in server rooms packed with equipment. The stranded conductors make the cable easy to route around corners without kinking, and the snagless boot prevents accidental disconnections during moves. With a grey jacket that blends into most office decors, it is a professional-grade solution for demanding networks.

Ideal use cases

• Connecting servers to 10G switches in data centres
• High-density office cabling with PoE devices nearby
• Industrial environments with motors and variable frequency drives
• Longer patch runs between patch panels and desks
• Audio/video over IP installations requiring low latency

Good to know

The cable is not halogen-free; the PVC jacket emits toxic fumes if burned, so it is best used in areas with proper ventilation and fire suppression. For plenum spaces, consider an LSZH alternative. The 10-metre length is measured end to end, including connectors. Always use shielded RJ45 plugs and grounded patch panels to maintain the shielding effectiveness. The cable is backward compatible with Cat5e and Cat6 equipment, but to achieve 10 Gbps, both ends must support 10GBASE-T.
