Patch Cable ACT Red 5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Red 5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a shielded copper network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps over short distances. Its S/FTP construction combines an overall braided shield with individually foil-shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. The cable jacket is made of LSZH material, lowering smoke and toxic gas emissions in case of fire and making the cable suitable for use in confined or poorly ventilated indoor spaces. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance, while the snagless boot protects the connector clip from damage during installation and routing.

Advantages

The combination of S/FTP shielding and CAT6A performance delivers improved signal integrity and reduced susceptibility to external noise compared with unshielded cables. The LSZH jacket minimizes hazardous emissions and complies with CPR Euroclass Eca, providing a safer choice for indoor environments. Snagless RJ45 connectors reduce the risk of clip breakage during installation, and gold-plated contacts enhance long-term contact quality. A 5 meter length offers flexibility for typical office, data cabinet or home networking layouts without excess slack.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, routers and patch panels in office and data center racks
• High-speed Ethernet links for workstations, servers and networked storage within 5 m
• Indoor installations where low smoke and zero halogen properties are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling is preferred

Key specifications

• Shielding: S/FTP — overall braid plus foil for each twisted pair
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ45 with snagless boot
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts for improved conductivity and corrosion resistance
• Length: 5 meters
• CPR classification: Euroclass Eca

How to use

Route the ACT CAT6A patch cable between networking equipment such as switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints. Insert the RJ45 connector fully into the corresponding port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Avoid tight bends and sharp kinks; maintain the manufacturer’s recommended minimum bend radius when routing the cable through racks, conduits or cable trays. For best performance, keep the cable separated from power lines and strong electromagnetic sources where possible.

Usage recommendations

For reliable 10 Gbps performance, use the cable for horizontal or top-of-rack patching within the specified 5 m length and pair it with compatible shielded networking hardware and properly grounded racks or equipment. In installations requiring reduced smoke emissions, select LSZH jacketing and observe local CPR/Euroclass requirements.
