ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable, 4m, LSZH, RJ45, Grey

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for demanding environments where space and reliability are critical. Measuring 4 meters in length, this grey cable provides a robust connection for high-speed data transmission up to 10,000 Mbit/s. Its slimline design, featuring a reduced outer diameter of 4.5mm, allows for improved cable management and better airflow within server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

Advantages

This patch cable utilizes S/FTP shielding to effectively minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal integrity even in dense cabling environments. The inclusion of 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts enhances conductivity and prevents corrosion over time. Furthermore, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides an essential safety feature, as it minimizes the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit. The snagless connector design protects the locking tabs during installation and removal, while the flexible 30AWG copper wiring allows for a tighter bending radius, simplifying routing in confined spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Professional data centers and server rooms
• Home and office network installations
• Environments requiring improved airflow and cable organization
• 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 at very long distances compared to thicker, standard-gauge cables. It is primarily optimized for patch panel and device-to-switch connections rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

Key specifications

How to use

To install the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design ensures the connector can be easily inserted and removed without the tab catching on other cables. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. The slim profile makes it ideal for high-density patching where space is limited.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network hardware supports CAT6A standards for maximum speed
• Confirm that the 30AWG gauge meets your specific attenuation requirements for the intended run
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in server racks, use this slimline cable to improve airflow and reduce clutter. Always avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable to prevent internal damage to the copper conductors.
