ACT Industrial 0.30 meters Profinet cable RJ45 male to RJ45 male, Superflex CAT6A SF/UTP TPE cable, shielded

The ACT Industrial SC4801 is a 0.3 m Cat6a network cable with RJ45 male connectors on both ends, intended for industrial Ethernet and Profinet connections. The cable uses SF/UTP (S-FTP) shielding to reduce electromagnetic interference and features gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission. Its sheath and overmoulded connectors are made of TPE (Thermo Plastic Elastomer), providing mechanical strength and resistance to movement in cable chains.

Advantages

The Superflex SF/UTP construction combines a braided shield with individual untwisted pairs to deliver improved protection against interference while maintaining high data throughput for Cat6a performance. The TPE sheath and overmoulded connectors increase resistance to mechanical stress and frequent bending. Each conductor is formed from 28 fine copper strands (AWG26 equivalent), resulting in greater flexibility compared with standard AWG24/7 patch cables. IP67-rated connectors provide protection against dust and temporary immersion.

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the Ethernet port of your industrial device or switch and the other plug to the corresponding port on the second device. Use the 0.3 m length for short connections inside control cabinets, switch racks, or close-proximity equipment. Ensure connectors are fully seated and, where applicable, secure the cable routing to avoid sharp bends beyond the manufacturer’s recommended bend radius.

Recommendations

For reliable long-term operation, avoid repeated tight bending at the connector entry, keep the cable routed within moving chains designed for industrial cables, and maintain proper grounding of shielded connections to preserve the SF/UTP shielding effectiveness.
