Network Cable ACT Grey 1m RJ45 S/FTP CAT6A

The ACT Grey 1 m S/FTP CAT6A patch cable is designed for high-speed data transmission and supports PoE++ 4PPoE 100W applications. It features a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket suitable for plenum spaces and raised floors, full copper 24 AWG conductors, and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts attached using Insulation Displacement Contacts (IDC). The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard and is intended for use between high-power PoE network switches and powered devices such as security cameras and wireless access points.

Advantages

The cable combines an LSZH sheath with solid copper 24 AWG conductors and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal integrity and corrosion resistance. IDC-attached connectors provide lower electrical resistance and greater mechanical stability compared with insulation-piercing contacts, which is important for 4PPoE 100W deployments. The S/FTP CAT6A design and up to 500 MHz bandwidth support high-speed data transmission while the LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen release in the event of fire.

Suitable for

• Connecting PoE++ / 4PPoE 100W network switches to IP security cameras
• Powering and networking wireless access points with a single cable
• Use in plenum spaces and raised access floors where LSZH rating is required
• High-speed data links requiring CAT6A performance up to 500 MHz

How to use

Plug the RJ45 connectors into compatible ports on the PoE network switch and the powered device (for example, an IP camera or access point). Ensure connectors are fully seated and that both ends use compatible CAT6A ports to maintain performance. Route the cable through plenum or raised-floor pathways as required by the installation environment, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve conductor integrity and connector contact.

Usage recommendations

For best results in 4PPoE 100W installations, use a single ACT S/FTP CAT6A patch cable per powered device, confirm switch and device PoE type compatibility, and avoid splicing or using lower-category patch cords in the same link. Maintain bend radius and secure cable runs in plenum or raised-floor spaces to ensure long-term performance and safety.
