ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 70 m (FB0170)

The ACT S/FTP Cat6A B2ca PoE++ 100W solid prefab installation cable with RJ45 male–female, 70 m (FB0170) is a pre-terminated structured-cabling solution designed for permanent installations that require Cat6A performance and high PoE power delivery. The cable features S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference, full copper 23AWG conductor pairs for reliable signal transmission, and IDC-attached RJ45 connectors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts. Its Euroclass B2ca rating means the cable complies with the highest European fire-safety requirements for building installations.

Advantages

This prefab Cat6A cable is ready to use out of the box, eliminating field termination and reducing installation time and the chance of wiring errors. The integrated IDC connectors and full copper conductors support 4PPoE/PoE++ up to 100 W for powered devices while maintaining Cat6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The B2ca CPR rating and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1 ensure suitability for professional environments with strict safety and performance requirements.

Suitable for

• Permanent structured-cabling runs in commercial office buildings and data centres
• Power-over-Ethernet deployments requiring up to 100 W (4PPoE / PoE++ 100W)
• High-bandwidth networks supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and Cat6A applications
• Environments requiring high fire-safety classification (B2ca), such as hospitals and schools
• Installations where fast, error-free plug-and-play deployment is preferred

When it may not be suitable

This pre-terminated solid cable is intended for permanent installations where a continuous solid conductor is appropriate; it is not optimal for frequent flexing or patching in dynamic environments where stranded patch cords are preferred. Also, if your installation requires non-standard connector types or customized cable lengths beyond available pre-terminated options, a bespoke solution or field termination may be necessary.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 70 m
• Conductor: full copper, 23 AWG solid conductors
• Performance: Category 6A (Cat6A) supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with foiled pairs) for reduced interference
• Connectors: pre-terminated RJ45 male and RJ45 female with IDC and 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• PoE support: 4-pair Power over Ethernet up to 100 W (PoE++ / 4PPoE)
• Fire performance: CPR Euroclass B2ca
• Standards compliance: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and ISO/IEC 11801-1
• Colour: Blue

How to use

Deploy the prefab cable as part of a permanent structured cabling run between network equipment and wall outlets or patch panels. Route and secure the cable according to building wiring regulations and support it with appropriate cable management. Connect the RJ45 male and female ends to the corresponding network devices or patch points; no termination tools or field assembly are required. Verify link status and PoE power delivery using network testing tools appropriate for Cat6A and PoE diagnostics.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a solid installation cable is suitable for the intended installation route (not for frequent flexing).
• Confirm required cable length and connector gender (male–female) match the planned endpoints.
• Ensure network devices support PoE++/4PPoE if using 100 W power delivery.
• Check building fire-safety requirements and compatibility with Euroclass B2ca cabling.

Usage recommendations

For best results, plan cable routes to avoid sharp bends and strong sources of EMI, secure the cable at regular intervals, and test both data throughput and PoE power delivery after installation to confirm Cat6A performance and reliable 100 W PoE operation.
