ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 40 m, RJ45 male–female (FB0140)

ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 40 m, RJ45 male–female (FB0140) is a pre-terminated solid Cat6A installation cable designed for high-speed Ethernet and Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. The S/FTP (S-STP) shielded construction and full copper 23 AWG conductors reduce electromagnetic interference and provide consistent signal integrity for structured cabling in server rooms, offices and commercial installations. The cable is factory-terminated with RJ45 male and RJ45 female connectors featuring 50 µ gold-plated contacts and IDC termination for immediate plug-and-play use.

Advantages

The pre-terminated design eliminates field termination errors, reduces installation time and removes the need for special tools or experienced technicians. With Euroclass B2ca fire performance and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards, the cable meets stringent safety and performance requirements for demanding environments. IDC connectors combined with full copper 23 AWG conductors support 4PPoE / PoE++ 100 W applications while maintaining long-term mechanical and electrical reliability.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Structured cabling in data centres and server rooms
• Office networks and commercial installations
• PoE-powered devices including access points, PTZ cameras and VoIP phones using 100 W 4PPoE
• Environments requiring high fire safety (Euroclass B2ca)
• Quick deployments and retrofit projects where plug-and-play pre-terminated cables save time

When it may not be suitable

This prefab solid Cat6A cable is intended for permanent installation runs and structured cabling; it is less flexible than stranded patch cords and therefore not ideal for frequent movement or applications that require frequent re-routing. It is pre-terminated to a fixed 40 m length with male and female RJ45 connectors, so it may not be suitable where custom lengths or on-site bespoke termination are required.

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP (S-STP) Cat6A solid
• Length: 40 m
• Conductor: full copper 23 AWG solid
• Connectors: RJ45 male and RJ45 female, IDC termination, 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Power support: 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100 W (Type 4)
• Fire performance: Euroclass B2ca
• Standards: compliant with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1
• Colour: Blue
• Suitable for HDBaseT and high-speed Ethernet up to Cat6A

How to use

Position the pre-terminated cable along the intended permanent installation path and secure it using appropriate cable management and fixings. Connect the RJ45 male end to the network switch, patch panel or outlet and use the RJ45 female end to accept a patch cord or device connector. No termination or special tools are required; verify continuity and link speed after installation and ensure proper grounding of shielded components according to local installation practices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required installation length and whether a fixed 40 m prefab cable fits the planned route
• Need for flexibility versus a solid installation cable—solid cables are less flexible than stranded patch cords
• Compatibility of PoE power requirements of connected devices with 4PPoE / PoE++ 100 W capability
• Shielding and grounding practices required for S/FTP cables in your installation
• Building regulations and the suitability of Euroclass B2ca for the installation environment

Usage recommendations

For reliable PoE++ deployments and high-density installations, run the cable with proper separation from power sources that may cause interference, maintain recommended bend radii for solid cable types, and terminate or connect shielded components using compatible shielded connectors and grounded panels to preserve the S/FTP shielding performance.
