ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 20m RJ45 male–male (FB0020)

ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 20m RJ45 male–male (FB0020) is a pre-terminated shielded Ethernet cable designed for structured cabling and high-speed 10 Gbps networks. The 20 m solid conductor cable uses S/FTP shielding and 23 AWG full copper cores with 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts on both ends, assembled with IDC connectors for reliable termination. The assembly is rated to CPR Euroclass B2ca for fire performance and supports 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100 W, making it suitable for demanding installations where fire safety and power delivery over Ethernet are required.

Advantages

The cable is ready to use out of the box with pre-terminated RJ45 male-to-male connectors, eliminating on-site termination, tooling and assembly time. Solid 23 AWG copper conductors and IDC contacts provide stable connections for high-power PoE applications. The S/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference, while the B2ca fire rating ensures compliance with stringent building safety requirements. Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards supports reliable performance in structured networks.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet links in offices, data centers and server rooms
• PoE++ deployments requiring up to 100 W power delivery (4PPoE / Type 4)
• Structured cabling installs where pre-terminated plug-and-play solutions reduce labour
• Environments with high fire safety requirements (B2ca-rated installations)
• HDBaseT video distribution and AV installations

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated solid installation cable is intended for permanent runs and fixed installations; it is not designed for frequent flexing or continuous movement as stranded patch cables would be. If custom lengths shorter than 20 m or non-standard connector types are required, field termination or alternative assemblies may be necessary. The fixed RJ45 male-to-male termination limits on-site re-termination options.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 20 m
• Conductor type: solid copper, 23 AWG
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ45 male — RJ45 male, 50 µ gold-plated contacts, IDC termination
• Category: CAT6A, suitable for 10 Gbps
• Power support: 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100 W
• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 compliant
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Unpack the pre-terminated cable and route it along the planned cable path, securing it with appropriate cable management accessories without exceeding the recommended bend radius for CAT6A solid cable. Plug the RJ45 male connectors into the corresponding RJ45 ports of network switches, PoE injectors or powered devices. Because the cable is pre-terminated with IDC connectors and gold-plated contacts, no additional tools or field termination are required; test the link after installation with a network tester to confirm connectivity and PoE power delivery.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 20 m length and male-to-male RJ45 terminations meet your installation requirements
• Confirm that your devices and switches support 4PPoE / PoE++ and the required wattage
• Ensure routing paths and cable trays can accommodate CAT6A solid cable and its bend radius
• Check building regulations and installation planning for B2ca-rated cabling

Usage recommendations

Handle the cable as a permanent installation medium: avoid repeated flexing, maintain separation from large electrical conduits to minimize interference, and use compatible PoE equipment rated for 100 W to ensure reliable power delivery. After installation, perform link and PoE validation with appropriate testers to confirm both data and power performance.
