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

The ACT Grey 5 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable is a grey, 5 m network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and network setups. It features full copper AWG#26 conductors and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, and uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity.

Advantages

The cable offers enhanced performance through full copper AWG#26 wires and 50µ gold RJ-45 contacts that ensure reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance. S/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external interference, supporting stable high-speed Ethernet connections. Snagless RJ-45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Server rooms and data centers
• Office and home network patching between switches, routers, and wall outlets
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6A (Class EA)
• Length: 5 m
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid + foil on pairs)
• Conductor: full copper AWG#26
• Contacts: 50µ gold-plated RJ-45
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless design
• Colour: Grey
• Brand/Model: ACT, MPN FB3005

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to your network device (switch, router, or network interface) and the other end to the corresponding port or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable without sharp bends and avoid running parallel to power cables to reduce interference. The snagless design allows insertion and removal without catching on adjacent cables.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the cable within typical CAT6A installation practices: maintain bend radii, avoid excessive pulling force, and keep cable runs within recommended lengths for 10GBASE-T applications. When installing in high-interference areas, verify grounding of shielding at patch panels or keystone jacks.
