ACT Grey 5 meters S/FTP CAT6A IDC 4PPoE / PoE++ 100W LSZH patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Grey 5m RJ45 CAT6A S/FTP patch cable is a 5-metre network cable designed for high-speed data transmission and PoE++ up to 100W. It features a LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket for safer use in plenum spaces and raised access floors, full copper 24AWG conductors, S/FTP shielding to reduce interference, and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts attached via Insulation Displacement Contacts (IDC). The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard and is available in grey or black.

Advantages

The cable combines LSZH sheathing, solid copper 24AWG conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts for low electrical resistance and reliable signal transmission. IDC-mounted contacts provide more stable and lower-resistance connections than typical insulation-piercing designs, which is important for 4PPoE/PoE++ 100W applications. S/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference for improved data integrity.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting security cameras using 4PPoE (Type 4) 100W
• Connecting access points and other high-power PoE devices
• Patch connections between PoE network switches and powered devices in plenum spaces or raised floors

Key specifications

• Length: 5 m
• Cable standard: CAT6A (ANSI/TIA-568.2-D)
• Conductor: solid copper, 24 AWG
• Shielding: S/FTP
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector: RJ45 — 50µ gold-plated contacts, IDC termination
• Power over Ethernet: 4PPoE / PoE++ up to 100W
• Colours: Grey, Black

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the PoE-capable network switch and the other end to the powered device such as a security camera or wireless access point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and the cable is routed without sharp bends to maintain signal integrity. The IDC termination on the connectors requires no special tools for standard patching use; handle the cable by the connector body when inserting or removing.

Recommendations

Use this CAT6A S/FTP LSZH patch cable for in-building PoE++ 100W connections where low smoke, halogen-free materials are required; avoid exposure to excessive mechanical stress or temperatures beyond the cable’s rated range.
