ACT Purple 0.5 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Purple 0.5m LSZH S/FTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is designed for short-distance network connections where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are required. The cable supports CAT6A performance for high-speed data transfer, features S/FTP shielding to minimise electromagnetic interference, and has gold-plated contacts for reliable conductivity. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas concentration in poorly ventilated spaces while the purple colour makes cable identification easier.

Advantages

The LSZH outer jacket reduces smoke and halogen release in case of fire or overheating. S/FTP shielding (foil over each pair plus an overall braid) improves protection against crosstalk and external interference. Snagless RJ45 boots prevent the connector clip from catching on other cables or equipment during routing. Gold-plated contacts offer stable signal transmission and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server rooms and network cabinets
• Connections in poorly ventilated environments such as trains, aircraft interiors and vehicles
• Desk-to-switch links where cable identification and neat routing are needed

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible ports on network devices until the clip clicks into place. Use the 0.5 m length for short, tidy patching between switches, patch panels and workstations. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the cable to preserve shielding integrity and connector contacts.

Recommendations

For installations in confined or poorly ventilated spaces, choose LSZH-sheathed cable to reduce toxic gas and smoke hazards. Maintain bend radii recommended for CAT6A cables and avoid running near high-power electrical sources to minimise interference.
