ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable RJ45 male–male, 40 m (FB0040)

The ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable RJ45 male–male, 40 m (FB0040) is a pre-terminated solid Cat6A network cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and high-power PoE deployments. Constructed with four foil-shielded pairs (S/FTP) and full 23 AWG copper conductors, the cable uses IDC-attached RJ45 male connectors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts. The assembly meets ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards and carries the CPR Euroclass B2ca rating for high fire-safety performance, making it suitable for installation in demanding environments such as data centers and commercial buildings.

Advantages

The pre-terminated design eliminates field termination and reduces installation time by providing plug-and-play RJ45 male–male connectors that require no special tools or technician. S/FTP shielding improves crosstalk and EMI resistance for stable 10G performance, while full copper 23 AWG conductors and IDC contacts are optimized for 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100 W. The Euroclass B2ca rating ensures compliance with CPR requirements for fire safety, extending suitability to high-risk environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in structured cabling
• PoE++ deployments requiring up to 100 W (4PPoE / Type 4)
• Data centers, server rooms and commercial network racks
• Installations in buildings where Euroclass B2ca fire performance is required
• Quick plug-and-play wiring of offices, classrooms or AV installations (HDBaseT compatible)

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated solid installation cable is optimized for fixed, in-wall or conduit installations where 23 AWG solid conductors and pre-attached connectors are appropriate. It is not designed for frequent flexing or mobile applications where stranded patch cables are preferable. If you need custom connector types or lengths beyond available prefab options, field termination or a different product family may be required.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6A S/FTP (foil shield per pair with overall braid)

• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca (s1a, d0, a1)
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 compliant
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Plan the cabling route and verify required length and connector orientation before installation. Route the pre-terminated cable through conduits or inside walls as appropriate for in-wall rated products and secure according to local codes. Insert each RJ45 male connector into the corresponding network ports or patch panels; the prefab connectors are ready to use without crimping or tooling. Test the link with a network tester to confirm 10G connectivity and PoE power delivery where applicable.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended installation type: in-wall, conduit, or raised-floor—confirm compatibility with building codes
• Required PoE power level and device compatibility (supports up to 100 W / 4PPoE)
• Whether a solid 23 AWG pre-terminated cable is preferred over stranded patch cable for your use case
• Available prefab lengths and connector gender; ensure 40 m male–male suits the planned connections
• Fire-safety requirements for the installation location (Euroclass B2ca certified)

Usage recommendations

Use the ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca prefab cable for permanent structured cabling runs where stable 10G performance and 100 W PoE are required. Avoid repeated flexing of the cable and ensure routing follows best practices for bend radius and strain relief. Verify connector seating and perform post-installation testing to confirm data and power delivery.
