ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 65m, RJ45 male–female (FB0165)

The ACT S/FTP CAT6A B2ca PoE++ 100W prefab installation cable 65m, RJ45 male–female (FB0165) is a factory-terminated solid installation cable designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Power over Ethernet up to 100 W. The assembly uses 23 AWG full copper conductors with S/FTP shielding to reduce crosstalk and maintain stable signal integrity for data, voice and video networks. Factory-fitted RJ45 male to female connectors with IDC termination enable immediate plug-and-play use without field termination or special tooling. The cable is rated CPR Euroclass B2ca, making it suitable for demanding installations and meeting European Construction Products Regulation requirements.

Advantages

The pre-terminated design eliminates time-consuming termination and reduces the risk of field wiring errors, providing consistent connector quality with 50 µin gold-plated contacts. S/FTP shielding and solid 23 AWG copper conductors deliver reliable performance for high-speed links and environments sensitive to interference. IDC connectors are optimized for 4-pair PoE (PoE++ up to 100 W), ensuring a robust power and data connection for powered devices. Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 standards and the CPR B2ca fire class add layers of safety and regulatory conformity.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet backbone and horizontal runs in commercial and enterprise networks
• Power over Ethernet installations requiring up to 100 W (4PPoE / PoE++ type 4)
• Data centers, server rooms and critical facilities where high fire performance is required
• Structured cabling deployments where fast, error-free installation is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This prefab solid installation cable is designed for fixed in-wall or in-duct installations and is not intended for frequent flexing or use as a patch cord where repeated bending and movement are expected. It is a solid conductor cable; for applications that require stranded conductors (for example, flexible patching or portable equipment connections), a stranded patch cable is more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable type: S/FTP CAT6A (shielded foil over individual pairs with overall braid)
• Conductor: solid copper, 23 AWG
• Length: 65 m
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 female, 50 µin gold-plated contacts, IDC termination
• Data rate: up to 10 Gbps (10GBASE-T)
• PoE support: 4-pair PoE, 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 ACT prefab CAT6A cable as an in-wall, in-duct or structured cabling segment between network outlets, patch panels or devices. Because the connectors are factory-fitted, simply route the cable, secure it following local installation practices and plug the male or female RJ45 connector into the corresponding port. No field termination, special tools or crimping is required. Verify link integrity and PoE delivery with appropriate network testers after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a solid conductor cable is appropriate for the intended installation (permanent in-wall/ceiling/duct runs rather than frequent flexing).
• Confirm required PoE power levels and device compatibility for 4-pair PoE (up to 100 W).
• Ensure the 65 m length meets channel length requirements when combined with patch cords and other cabling.
• Check that CPR Euroclass B2ca rating is required or preferred for the installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, avoid tight bends and excessive cable compression. Follow standard installation practices for separation from electrical power cables, proper cable support and strain relief. After routing and securing the cable, use a network tester to verify 10 Gbps link performance and correct PoE delivery.
