ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable 45m, RJ45 male–male (FB0045)

The ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable 45m, RJ45 male–male (FB0045) is a shielded, pre-terminated network cable designed for 10GBASE-T Ethernet links and for delivering up to 100W via 4PPoE/PoE++ to powered devices. The cable uses 23AWG full copper conductors, an S/FTP (S-STP) shielded construction, and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts terminated with IDC technology. It carries a CPR Euroclass B2ca fire classification, complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards, and is supplied in a 45 m length with blue RJ45 male-to-male connectors for plug-and-play installation.

Advantages

The pre-terminated design eliminates on-site termination, reducing installation time and the risk of wiring errors. Shielded S/FTP construction provides improved EMI protection for stable 10G data transmission in electrically noisy environments. With full copper 23AWG conductors and IDC connectors, the cable supports 4-pair PoE up to 100W, ensuring reliable power delivery for cameras, access points and VoIP phones. The B2ca CPR rating permits installation in high-risk or regulated buildings where higher fire performance is required.

Suitable for

• 10GBASE-T Ethernet links in structured cabling systems
• Powering devices using 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100W (type 4)
• IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other PoE-powered network equipment
• Installations requiring CPR Euroclass B2ca fire performance (data centres, healthcare, commercial buildings)
• Plug-and-play installations where no field termination or special tools are desired

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated solid cable is not intended for frequent flexing or use as a patch cord in active cable trays because solid conductors are optimized for fixed installations. It may not be suitable where non-standard connector orientations, very short custom lengths, or bespoke on-site terminations are required.

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on pairs), Cat6A solid
• Length: 45 m
• Conductors: 23 AWG full copper solid cores
• Connectors: RJ45 male – RJ45 male, IDC termination, 50 µin gold-plated contacts
• Ethernet: Supports 10GBASE-T
• PoE support: 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100W (type 4)
• Standards compliance: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1
• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Install the cable as a fixed link in structured cabling routes between patch panels, keystone jacks or network equipment. Route and secure the cable following local installation practices and bend-radius limits for solid Cat6A cables. Plug the RJ45 male connectors directly into compatible ports on switches, patch panels or devices. No termination or special tools are required; verify continuity and network connectivity after placement and ensure proper grounding of shields where applicable.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 45 m pre-terminated fixed-link suits your run length and routing; pre-terminated cables cannot be shortened on-site.
• Check that endpoints accept RJ45 male-to-male connections or that appropriate patching/patch panels are available.
• Confirm PoE power requirements of connected devices to ensure 100W support is sufficient and that network equipment supplies 4PPoE.
• Consider installation environment and required fire classification; B2ca is suitable for high-risk buildings.

Usage recommendations

Route and secure the cable following manufacturer bend-radius guidelines and separate from strong electrical noise sources where possible. Ensure the shield is properly grounded at least at one end in accordance with local grounding practices to maintain shield effectiveness. Test the link after installation for data performance and PoE delivery before commissioning connected devices.
