ACT Black 3 meters S/FTP CAT6A IDC 4PPoE / PoE++ 100W LSZH patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Black 3m S/FTP CAT6A patch cable with RJ45 connectors is designed for high-power PoE++ and 4PPoE (100W) network connections. The cable features a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket suitable for plenum spaces and raised floors, full copper 24AWG conductors, S/FTP shielding and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts attached via Insulation Displacement Contact (IDC) technology. The assembly complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D and is intended for reliable use between PoE network switches and powered devices such as security cameras or access points.

Advantages

The cable’s IDC-mounted 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide lower electrical resistance and greater mechanical stability compared with standard insulation-piercing contacts, helping to maintain a stable connection in 4PPoE 100W deployments. Solid full-copper 24AWG conductors and S/FTP shielding minimise signal loss and external interference. The LSZH sheath lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in the event of fire, making the cable appropriate for installation in plenum areas and raised access floors.

Suitable for

• Connecting PoE++ / 4PPoE (type 4, 100W) network switches to security cameras
• Powering and networking access points with a single cable
• Data and power runs in offices, server rooms and plenum spaces

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the network port of the PoE switch and the device (camera or access point) until the latch clicks. Ensure both ends are fully seated to maintain the IDC contact integrity. Use the cable for permanent or temporary connections between 4PPoE-capable switches and powered devices; avoid excessive bending radii and mechanical strain near the connector to preserve contact reliability and conductor integrity.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in 100W 4PPoE setups, use one ACT CAT6A patch cable per powered device and avoid combining multiple high-power devices on insufficiently rated patch panels or unshielded installations. Maintain proper cable routing and separation from strong electrical sources to reduce interference and follow local installation codes for LSZH cabling in plenum spaces.
