ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable, 7 Meters, LSZH, Red, RJ45

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for demanding professional environments. Measuring 7 meters in length, this cable supports high-speed data transmission while maintaining signal integrity through its S/FTP shielding. The slimline design is specifically engineered to reduce cable bulk, facilitating improved airflow and simplified cable management in high-density server racks and office network setups.

Advantages

This patch cable features a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing toxic emissions in the event of a fire. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the locking tabs from breaking during installation or removal, ensuring a secure and long-lasting connection. Its slim profile makes it an ideal choice for environments where space is at a premium, allowing for cleaner installations and better organization of networking hardware.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and data centers
• Professional office network installations
• Connecting workstations to wall outlets
• Environments requiring fire-safety compliance

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for outdoor installations, as the LSZH jacket is not designed to withstand prolonged exposure to UV radiation or harsh weather conditions. Additionally, for extremely long-distance runs exceeding standard patch cable limitations, dedicated structured cabling solutions should be considered.

Key specifications

• Cable Category: CAT6A
• Shielding: S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair)
• Length: 7 meters
• Jacket Material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector Type: RJ45 (Snagless)
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is routed through cable management organizers to prevent tension on the connectors. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab catching on other cables.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific installation to avoid excess slack
• Ensure your network equipment supports CAT6A standards for optimal performance
• Check if your local building codes require LSZH-rated cables for your specific installation area

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, avoid bending the cable at sharp angles and ensure it is kept away from high-voltage power lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.
