ACT Purple 1.00 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Purple 1.00 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a short, high-performance network cable designed for reliable connections in wired Ethernet environments. The cable features S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, gold-plated contacts for consistent signal transmission, and a snagless boot on each RJ45 connector to protect the latch during installation and removal. The compact 1.00 m length and purple jacket help with tidy cable management and easy identification within racks or behind workstations.

Advantages

This SFTP CAT6A cable supports higher data rates and improved signal integrity compared with lower category cables, with shielding that protects against external noise in congested cabling environments. The gold-plated contacts provide reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance for long-term performance. The snagless RJ45 boots minimize the risk of connector damage during frequent plugging and unplugging. The purple colour makes the cable easy to trace among other network leads.

Suitable for

• Short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring CAT6A performance
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielding is beneficial
• Structured cabling runs where colour-coded identification simplifies management

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (Augmented Category 6)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall shield with individually shielded pairs)
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45 with snagless boot
• Contacts: Gold-plated
• Length: 1.00 m
• Colour: Purple
• Typical use: Ethernet networking up to CAT6A performance levels

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of your device and the other into the corresponding port on a switch, router, patch panel or modem. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to establish a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and mechanical stress; maintain recommended bend radius for twisted-pair cabling to preserve performance. For structured installations, use cable management accessories and colour-coding to keep runs organized.

Usage recommendations

Use this CAT6A SFTP cable for short, high-speed connections where interference resistance and clear cable identification are required. Avoid placing the cable alongside high-voltage power lines and keep it away from sources of heat or excessive moisture. For longer runs or different installation environments, select an appropriate cable length and category to match performance and shielding needs.
