SFTP CAT6A patch cable ACT Orange 25.00 meter

The ACT Orange 25.00 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable is a shielded network cable designed for high-speed ethernet connections over longer runs. With snagless RJ45 connectors and S/FTP shielding, the cable reduces crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference while maintaining a stable signal across 25 meters. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resist corrosion, and the orange jacket makes cable identification straightforward in patch panels and cabling bundles.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding around each pair plus an overall foil/shield arrangement provides enhanced protection against EMI and near-end crosstalk compared with unshielded alternatives. Snagless RJ45 plugs protect the connector latch during installation and removal, and gold-plated contacts offer consistent electrical contact and increased durability. The CAT6A specification supports higher bandwidths and better performance for modern network demands across the 25 m length.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections in office or data center environments
• Horizontal cabling runs between patch panels and network switches
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cable is preferred
• Visible cable runs where color-coding simplifies identification and management

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (augmented category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless design
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity
• Length: 25 m
• Jacket colour: orange

How to use

Fully insert each RJ45 connector into the corresponding network port until the latch clicks to ensure a secure connection. Route the cable avoiding tight bends, kinks, and proximity to high-power electrical lines to preserve shielding effectiveness and signal integrity. For permanent installations, secure the cable with appropriate ties or cable management hardware without compressing the jacket or shielding layers. Test the connection after installation with appropriate network testing tools to confirm link speed and integrity.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain bend radii recommended for CAT6A cables and avoid running the cable in direct parallel with high-voltage power lines. Use the orange colour to segregate critical or high-speed links in patch panels, and consider testing after installation to verify 10 Gigabit-capable links where required.
