Cat 6A F/UTP Solid Installation Cable ACT 500m Violet

The ACT Cat 6A F/UTP Solid Installation Cable in violet is a 500 m reel intended for permanent indoor network installations requiring enhanced performance. Constructed with solid 24 AWG conductors and foil-shielded pairs, the cable supports high-speed data transmission while reducing near-end crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The outer sheath is made of LSZH material and the product meets CPR euroclass ECA, making it suitable for environments where low smoke emission and regulatory compliance are required.

Advantages

This Cat 6A F/UTP cable provides consistent signal integrity across long runs thanks to solid conductors and individual pair foil shielding, which improves immunity to external noise compared with unshielded variants. The 24 AWG gauge balances mechanical strength and electrical performance for installation stability. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic and corrosive smoke in the event of fire, and the cable’s construction aligns with CPR euroclass ECA for building safety requirements.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Structured cabling for offices, data closets and wiring ducts
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gbps over appropriate channel lengths
• Backbone and horizontal runs where reduced interference is required
• Installations in public or commercial buildings requiring low-smoke materials

Key specifications

• Conductor type and size: Solid conductors, 24 AWG
• Topology: F/UTP — foil-shielded twisted pairs with overall drain/foil arrangement
• Category performance: Category 6A suitable for 10GBASE-T applications
• Outer sheath material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Violet
• Compliance: CPR euroclass ECA for construction product reaction to fire

How to use

Plan cable routes to minimize sharp bends and avoid proximity to high-power electrical equipment to prevent induced noise. Use appropriate cable management and supports to maintain bend radius and prevent physical stress on the solid 24 AWG conductors. Terminate the cable on compatible keystone jacks or patch panels designed for solid 24 AWG conductors and for Foiled UTP constructions; follow the manufacturer’s termination guidelines to ensure correct pair alignment and shielding connection. After installation, verify link performance with a certified network tester capable of Cat6A measurements.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, maintain recommended maximum channel lengths for 10GBASE-T deployments, ensure proper grounding of the shield at one end or as specified by your installation standards, and avoid routing near unshielded power sources. Store the reel horizontally and protect from prolonged UV exposure before installation.
