ACT CAT6A S/FTP B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 55 m (FB0155)

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 55 m (FB0155) is a pre‑terminated, shielded Cat6A installation cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and structured cabling. This 55 m blue cable uses full copper 23AWG solid conductors, S/FTP shielding, and IDC‑terminated RJ45 connectors with 50 µin gold plating to ensure low attenuation, consistent performance and reliable PoE++ delivery up to 100 W. The cable is certified to the CPR Euroclass B2ca for fire performance and complies with ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D and ISO/IEC 11801‑1 standards.

Advantages

Pre‑terminated RJ45 male–female configuration removes the need for field termination, minimizing installation time and reducing the chance of wiring errors. Shielded S/FTP construction reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk for stable 10GbE links in dense network environments. The B2ca fire class allows use in high risk or safety‑sensitive locations, while IDC contacts and 23AWG solid copper conductors provide robust support for 4PPoE/PoE++ 100 W deployments.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• High‑speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbones and structured cabling in offices and data closets
• PoE++ / 4PPoE installations delivering up to 100 W to powered devices
• Deployments requiring high fire safety rating (B2ca) such as data centres, server rooms and public buildings
• Plug‑and‑play retrofit or new installations where reduced installation time is important

When it may not be suitable

This pre‑terminated solid installation cable is intended for fixed horizontal distribution and in‑wall or conduit runs where a continuous solid conductor is appropriate; it is not suitable for frequent flexing or permanent use in moving parts. For patching between equipment in a rack or applications that require stranded patch cords for flexibility, a stranded patch cable is preferable.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A S/FTP (shielded foil around pairs with overall braid)
• Length: 55 m
• Conductor: Solid copper, 23 AWG
• Connector type: RJ45 male to RJ45 female, IDC termination, 50 µin gold‑plated contacts
• PoE support: 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100 W
• Standards: Compliant with ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D and ISO/IEC 11801‑1
• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Install the pre‑terminated cable along the intended route, secure it using appropriate cable management and routing practices, and connect the RJ45 male and female ends directly to the network equipment or patch panels as required. No termination or special tooling is necessary; verify connector orientation and test the link with a network tester after installation to confirm 10GbE performance and PoE delivery. When routing through ceilings or risers, follow local building and fire codes for B2ca‑rated cabling.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure a 55 m pre‑terminated solid run matches the physical distance and routing constraints of the installation
• Confirm target equipment supports PoE++ (4PPoE) if planning to deliver up to 100 W
• Plan for flexibility needs—use stranded patch cords where frequent movement is expected
• Check local regulations and installation practices for B2ca‑rated cables in the intended environment

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and excessive pulling force during installation, maintain proper grounding for shielded systems, and complete link testing after installation to verify data throughput and PoE power delivery.
