SFTP CAT6A Patch Cable ACT Purple 2.00 meter

The ACT Purple 2.00 meter SFTP CAT6A Patch Cable is a structured cabling solution designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable conforms to Cat6a standards and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation, and gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and resistance to corrosion. The 2.00 m length and distinctive purple jacket make it suitable for visible cable runs and organized patch panels.

Advantages

The S/FTP CAT6A design combines overall foil shielding with individually braided shielding around each twisted pair, delivering improved protection against external noise compared with unshielded or partially shielded cables. Snagless RJ45 connectors reduce the risk of connector damage when routing the cable through tight spaces. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and greater durability for repeated insertions. The Cat6a standard supports higher data rates and better performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links in data centers and server rooms
• Office network patch panels and wall outlets
• Audio-video installations and streaming systems requiring low interference
• Structured cabling where visible color coding is desired
• Home networks demanding higher bandwidth and future-proofing

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall foil with individually shielded twisted pairs)
• Connector type: RJ45 snagless plugs
• Contact plating: Gold-plated contacts
• Length: 2.00 meter
• Jacket color: Purple
• Suitable frequency range: up to 500 MHz

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network switch, router, or patch panel port and the other plug to the target device such as a server, workstation, or wall outlet. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch audibly clicks to secure the connection. Avoid sharp bends near the connector and maintain the cable bend radius recommended for Cat6a cabling to preserve signal integrity. For permanent installations, route the cable alongside other shielded cabling and ensure proper grounding of shielded infrastructure components where required.

Usage recommendations

Use the purple ACT SFTP CAT6A cable in environments that require high data throughput and minimized interference. When deploying multiple shielded cables, check that equipment racks, patch panels, and outlets support shield continuity and grounding to maximize shielding effectiveness. For visible runs, the purple color aids identification; for long runs beyond 2 meters, consider appropriate cable lengths to avoid excess slack and to maintain tidy cable management.
