ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable, 1m, LSZH, RJ45, Grey

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for demanding environments where space efficiency and reliable data transmission are critical. Measuring 1 meter in length, this cable features a slimline design with a 4.5mm outer diameter, which significantly improves airflow and cable management within dense server racks and network cabinets. Built with high-quality materials, it ensures consistent signal integrity for high-speed connectivity.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior performance through its S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, ensuring stable data transfer rates of up to 10,000 Mbit/s. The use of full copper 30AWG conductors combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts provides excellent conductivity and durability. Furthermore, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it a responsible choice for professional installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data centers and server rooms with limited space
• Professional and home office network setups
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher signal attenuation over longer distances compared to standard 22-28 AWG cables. It is primarily optimized for short-range patching within racks rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Standard: CAT6A S/FTP
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Outer diameter: 4.5mm
• PoE support: Up to 30W

How to use

To install, simply insert the snagless RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port on your switch, router, or patch panel until you hear a click. The slimline design allows for easier routing through cable managers and tight spaces. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Check if your equipment supports CAT6A standards for maximum speed
• Ensure the 30AWG gauge meets your specific attenuation requirements for the intended run

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in high-density environments, use these cables in conjunction with proper cable management organizers to maintain airflow and prevent excessive strain on the connectors.
