ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 25m, RJ45 male–female (FB0125)

The ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 25m, RJ45 male–female (FB0125) is a factory-terminated, high-performance installation cable for structured networks. This 25 metre solid conductor S/FTP Cat6A cable features full copper 23AWG conductors, foil and tinned braid shielding to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, and factory-fitted RJ45 male and female ends with 50µ gold-plated contacts and IDC termination. The assembly is designed for high-speed Ethernet and 4PPoE / PoE++ delivery up to 100 W and is compliant with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards. The cable carries a CPR Euroclass B2ca rating, making it suitable for installation in buildings with elevated fire-safety requirements.

Advantages

The pre-terminated prefab design eliminates on-site termination and reduces installation time and potential wiring errors, requiring no special tools or advanced technician skills. Shielded S/FTP construction and solid 23AWG copper conductors deliver stable signal performance and lower alien crosstalk for Cat6A applications. IDC connectors are optimized for reliable Power over Ethernet performance up to 100 W, providing a durable connection suitable for long-term PoE deployments. The Euroclass B2ca rating ensures compliance with strict fire-safety regulations for commercial and critical environments.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in offices, data centres, server rooms and commercial buildings
• Power over Ethernet installations requiring up to 100 W (4PPoE / PoE++ type 4)
• HDBaseT and high-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6A performance
• Environments with high EMI where S/FTP shielding improves signal integrity
• Projects requiring quick deployment with pre-terminated, plug-and-play cabling

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated 25 m cable is not intended for field termination or custom connector fitting; its fixed male–female ends mean any change to connector types requires replacing the entire assembly. It may be excessive for very short patch runs or applications that do not require PoE or the higher fire-rating, where a simpler, lower-category or unshielded cable could be more cost-effective.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 25 m
• Conductor type and size: solid copper, 23 AWG

• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 female, 50µ gold-plated contacts, IDC termination
• Category and performance: Cat6A, suitable for 10G Ethernet
• Power support: 4-pair PoE (PoE++), up to 100 W
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 compliant
• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Route the prefab cable through the cable tray, conduit or cable duct to the desired endpoints, taking care to avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Connect the RJ45 male plug to the network switch or PoE injector and the RJ45 female end to the device or a patch lead. Because the product is factory-terminated, no onsite termination or special tools are required; verify link negotiation and PoE power delivery from the switch or injector and confirm network connectivity. Follow standard installation practices for bend radius, separation from high-voltage cables, and secure fastening along the run.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether a fixed 25 m prefab assembly matches the installation route
• Need for 100 W PoE support and compatibility with your PoE switches or injectors
• Whether shielded S/FTP and Euroclass B2ca fire rating are necessary for the building or room
• Connector gender (male–female) and compatibility with existing patching or devices
• Routing constraints such as conduit diameter and allowable bend radius for solid cables

Usage recommendations

For reliable PoE++ operation, use the ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca prefab cable with compatible 4PPoE switches or injectors and verify power budgets for connected devices. Maintain appropriate bend radius and secure the cable at intervals to avoid strain on IDC terminations. In environments requiring strict fire performance or low electromagnetic interference, choose this S/FTP B2ca cable to meet regulatory and signal-integrity needs.
