ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 45 m, RJ45 male–female (FB0145)

The ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable (45 m) with RJ45 male–female connectors is a pre-terminated, solid conductor network cable designed for structured cabling in offices, data centres and professional network installations. This shielded CAT6A assembly supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and 4-pair PoE (PoE++ / 100W) applications. The cable uses full copper 23AWG conductors, 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts terminated by IDC, and carries a CPR Euroclass B2ca fire classification for installation in buildings with strict fire safety requirements.

Advantages

Pre-terminated RJ45 male–female connectors remove the need for on-site termination, reducing installation time and the risk of wiring errors. The S/FTP shielding and CAT6A specification provide support for high-speed 10GBASE-T links while the IDC termination and solid 23AWG cores ensure reliable current handling for 4PPoE 100W deployments. The Euroclass B2ca rating makes the cable suitable for environments with stringent fire performance requirements, and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 ensures interoperability with standard structured cabling systems.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in offices and data centres
• Power over Ethernet installations up to 100W (PoE++ / 4PPoE)
• Structured cabling backbones and horizontal runs where pre-terminated cables reduce downtime
• High-risk or regulated environments requiring Euroclass B2ca rated cables (server rooms, healthcare, education)

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated solid installation cable is intended for permanent structured cabling runs; it is not designed for continuous flexing or repeated movement as required in patch cords or portable leads. If a custom length other than the supplied 45 m is required, onsite cutting and re-termination are not possible without replacing the prefab assembly. The cable's solid conductor construction and IDC terminations are optimized for fixed installations rather than frequent reconfiguration.

How to use

Install the prefab cable as part of a structured cabling run by routing the cable through cable trays, conduits or within ceilings and walls according to local regulations and building codes. Use the pre-terminated RJ45 male–female connection to extend or bridge between two fixed points without the need for field termination; plug the male connector into an outlet, patch panel or device and mount the female connector where a drop or extension is required. Ensure proper earthing of the shield at one end or according to site grounding strategy and avoid tight bends or mechanical stress on the solid conductor cable during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether the fixed 45 m prefab length matches the installation run
• Compatibility with existing equipment and whether RJ45 male–female terminations meet the intended connection points
• Installation environment and the need for Euroclass B2ca fire rating for building compliance
• Suitability of solid conductor S/FTP cable for fixed installations rather than flexible patching
• Grounding and shield termination practices at the site to preserve shielding effectiveness

Usage recommendations

Route the cable avoiding sharp bends; maintain the manufacturer’s minimum bend radius, keep separation from high-voltage power cables where possible, and terminate or connect only at stable, fixed points. For PoE++ deployments, verify device compatibility and power budgets. When installing in fire-sensitive buildings, follow local CPR-related installation and documentation requirements to maintain the declared Euroclass performance.
