ACT Blue 5 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Blue 5 meter S/FTP CAT6A patch cable provides a shielded, high-performance connection for network and data equipment. Designed with S/FTP (Screened Foiled Twisted Pair) shielding and gold-plated contacts, this 5 m blue cable reduces electromagnetic interference and supports high-speed data transfer between RJ-45 ports. The snagless design of the RJ-45 connectors protects the latch during installation and maintenance.

Advantages

The S/FTP CAT6A construction offers enhanced protection against crosstalk and external noise compared with unshielded cables. Gold-plated contacts improve conductivity and corrosion resistance for consistent signal quality. Snagless RJ-45 connectors reduce the risk of connector damage when routing or unplugging the cable. The 5 m length provides flexibility for rack, workstation, and patch-panel connections while the blue color helps with cable identification and organisation.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet connections (up to CAT6A specifications)
• Office and data center patching between switches, routers and patch panels
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference
• Structured cabling where cable colour coding is used

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end of the SFTP CAT6A patch cable to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the destination port such as a patch panel or another network device. Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure physical connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and keep it away from power cables where possible to minimise interference. For installations in rack environments, use appropriate cable management to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

Use this ACT S/FTP CAT6A 5 m patch cable for short- to medium-length links within offices and data centers where shielded cabling is preferred. Verify cable category compatibility with network equipment and avoid excessive bending radius to maintain signal performance.
