ACT Industrial 6.00 meters Profinet cable RJ45 male to RJ45 male Superflex CAT6A SF/UTP TPE cable shielded

The ACT Industrial 6.00 meters Profinet cable RJ45 male to RJ45 male Superflex CAT6A SF/UTP TPE cable shielded is a shielded Ethernet cable designed for industrial Profinet applications. With a 6.00 m length, CAT6A performance and Superflex construction, this cable supports high-speed data transmission and is suitable for installations where flexibility and mechanical resilience are required. The RJ45 male connectors on both ends provide standard plug-and-play connectivity with switches, controllers and network devices used in automation and control systems.

Advantages

The shielded SF/UTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and crosstalk, improving signal integrity in electrically noisy environments. The Superflex jacket and TPE material deliver enhanced flexibility for routing in confined spaces and frequent bending while maintaining mechanical durability. CAT6A specification ensures support for higher bandwidths and stable Gigabit and 10 Gigabit-capable networks over the specified distance.

Suitable for

• Industrial Ethernet connections between PLCs, I/O modules and switches
• Profinet networks and real-time automation communication
• Cabinet-to-field device wiring where flexibility and shielding are required
• Applications requiring resistance to repeated bending and compact cable routing

Key specifications

• Length: 6.00 meters
• Cable category: CAT6A (augmented Category 6)
• Construction: SF/UTP (shielded overall, no individual pair shields)
• Connectors: RJ45 male to RJ45 male
• Jacket material: TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) for flexibility and durability
• Design: Superflex for tight bends and compact routing
• Use environment: Industrial / automation

How to use

Connect one RJ45 male connector to the network port of the controller, switch or device and the other end to the corresponding port on the opposite device. Ensure connector locking tabs are engaged for secure mating. Route the cable avoiding sharp edges and excessive tensile load; secure using appropriate clips or cable ties that do not compress the jacket. The shield requires correct earthing at one or both ends according to the installation's grounding practice to maintain EMC performance.

Usage recommendations

For reliable Profinet performance, keep cable runs within recommended lengths, avoid close parallel routing with high-voltage power lines, and use proper grounding for the shield. When installing in tight spaces, bend the Superflex cable gently without exceeding its minimum bend radius and avoid twisting during connection. Inspect connectors for damage before use and replace the cable if the jacket or shielding is compromised.
