ACT CAT6A S/FTP B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 60 m (FB0160)

ACT CAT6A S/FTP B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 60 m (FB0160) is a pre-terminated solid installation cable designed for structured networks requiring CAT6A performance, maximum PoE power delivery and high fire-safety classification. The cable uses S/FTP shielding, full copper 23 AWG conductors and IDC-attached RJ45 contacts with 50 µ gold plating to deliver stable Gigabit and 10GbE signals. Its B2ca Euroclass sheath and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 make it suitable for demanding indoor environments and applications where both performance and fire safety are required.

Advantages

The pre-terminated design removes the need for field termination, reducing installation time and the risk of wiring errors; no special tooling or advanced technician is required. The S/FTP construction and full copper cores ensure consistent signal performance for Gigabit and 10GbE networks, while IDC connectors are optimized for 4PPoE / PoE++ 100W delivery. The B2ca-rated sheath provides the highest CPR fire classification, supporting installation in data centers, hospitals and other high-risk environments.

Suitable for

• Structured cabling in commercial and enterprise networks
• PoE-powered devices demanding up to 100W (4PPoE / PoE++), such as high-power access points and cameras
• 10GbE and Gigabit Ethernet links requiring CAT6A performance
• Installations where high fire-safety classification (Euroclass B2ca) is required
• Quick deployments and retrofits where plug-and-play pre-terminated cables speed up work

When it may not be suitable

This solid prefab cable is intended for fixed installation (solid conductor) and may not be appropriate for patching in dense, frequently reconfigured patch-panel areas where stranded patch cords are preferred for flexibility. It is designed for indoor structured cabling and must be used according to local building and cable-routing regulations; outdoor, direct-burial or exposed installations requiring UV or moisture protection are outside its intended use.

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT6A S/FTP (shielded overall with individually shielded pairs)
• Length: 60 m
• Conductor: solid copper, 23 AWG
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 female, IDC termination, 50 µ 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 prefab cable as part of your structured cabling by routing the cable along cable trays, conduits or within cable management systems according to site plans and local regulations. Terminate the female RJ45 connector into the intended patch panel, wall outlet or device and plug the male RJ45 into the switch, injector or PoE source. Ensure bend radius and cable-support guidelines for solid installation cables are followed and secure the cable to prevent strain on the IDC connections.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm that a solid installation cable is appropriate for your use case; stranded patch cords may be better for frequently moved connections
• Verify that 60 m length fits the planned route including slack and allowable bend radius
• Check building regulations and CPR requirements for the installation area to ensure B2ca rating meets local mandates
• Ensure connected equipment supports 4PPoE / PoE++ if you plan to use 100W power delivery

Usage recommendations

Use this pre-terminated ACT CAT6A S/FTP cable for permanent horizontal runs and fixed installations where high data rates and PoE++ are required. Maintain recommended bend radius, avoid sharp bends and secure the cable at regular intervals to preserve signal integrity and PoE performance.
