ACT Pink 0.50 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Pink 0.50 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable is a compact network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in confined spaces. It uses S/FTP shielding to reduce electromagnetic and crosstalk interference, and features snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts to maintain reliable signal transmission. The cable's half-metre length and pink jacket provide a visible, space-saving solution for short links between switches, patch panels and devices.

Advantages

Shielded S/FTP construction provides improved protection against external interference and pair-to-pair crosstalk compared with unshielded cables. Snagless RJ45 plugs prevent clip damage during installation and removal, while gold-plated contacts ensure consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The 0.50 meter length reduces excess cable clutter in dense rack or desktop environments and the colored jacket simplifies identification of connections.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network port of the source device (for example a switch or router) and the other connector into the target device port (for example a PC or patch panel). Ensure connectors click into place to confirm a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; maintain bend radii recommended for twisted-pair cables to preserve signal integrity. For installations requiring multiple cables, use color-coding to match documentation and port maps.

Recommendations

Use this 0.50 m SFTP CAT6A patch cable for short, high-performance links where shielding and reduced electromagnetic interference are important. Avoid running the cable parallel and close to high-voltage power lines; when routing in mixed environments, maintain separation from mains cabling to minimise potential interference.
