ACT IB4030 Cat6a S/FTP PiMF Patch Cable, 30m, Grey, 10GBase-T, 500MHz, RJ45

The ACT IB4030 is a 30-meter Cat6a patch cable built with S/FTP shielding and PiMF construction, making it a dependable choice for 10-Gigabit Ethernet links up to 500 MHz. Unlike unshielded or basic foil-only cables, the combination of per-pair metal foil and an overall braid shield provides strong protection against alien crosstalk and EMI, which is critical in dense rack environments and industrial settings.

Highlights

• Cat6a performance: supports 10GBASE-T with 500 MHz bandwidth
• S/FTP (S-STP) shielding: PiMF (pairs in metal foil) plus overall braid
• Gold-plated RJ45 connectors (50 µm) for reliable contact
• 26 AWG stranded copper conductors for flexibility and durability
• Grey PVC jacket, 30 m length, TIA/EIA-568B wiring

In daily use

This cable is well suited for connecting switches, servers, and patch panels in data centers, or for longer runs in office and home networks where 10G speeds are required. The stranded construction makes it easier to route around corners than solid-core cable, while the robust shielding keeps signal integrity high even near power lines or other interference sources. PoE and PoE+ are supported, so it can also power devices like access points and IP cameras.
