ACT Orange 3.00 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Orange 3.00 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable is a shielded network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and patching applications. Featuring S/FTP construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this 3 m cable reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity for demanding network environments. The snagless connector design minimizes strain and accidental damage during installation, while the bright orange jacket aids quick identification in cable bundles and equipment racks.

Advantages

S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually braided shields around each twisted pair, providing superior protection against external noise and crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent contact resistance and corrosion resistance for long-term reliability. The cable’s snagless molded boots protect the connector latch during routing and patching operations. A 3.00 m length balances reach and neatness for common patch panel-to-equipment connections, and the orange jacket improves visual management in multi-cable installations.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 end to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other end to the patch panel or wall outlet. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension to preserve the shielding and internal pair geometry. For installations in dense racks or conduits, use proper cable management accessories to maintain bend radius and prevent connector strain.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, keep the cable length within recommended limits for CAT6A cabling in patching scenarios and avoid running the cable parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use the orange colour to label or group related connections for easier maintenance and troubleshooting.
