ACT White 20 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT White 20 meter LSZH SFTP CAT6A patch cable is a 20 m network cable designed for high-speed Ethernet applications where reduced smoke and halogen-free materials are required. Featuring S/FTP shielding for foil-wrapped pairs plus an overall braid, this CAT6A cable minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts provide a secure mating interface and corrosion resistance for reliable signal transmission in wired LANs and structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket lowers the release of toxic and corrosive gases in the event of fire, making this cable suitable for indoor spaces with limited ventilation. S/FTP shielding offers enhanced protection against external interference compared with unshielded types, improving signal integrity for higher bandwidths. The snagless connector design reduces the risk of tab breakage during installation and maintenance, while gold-plated contacts ensure stable conductivity and resistance to oxidation.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server rooms requiring high-bandwidth connections
• Office LANs, workstations and desktop connectivity
• Telecommunications closets and patch panels in structured cabling
• Indoor environments where low smoke and zero halogen properties are preferred

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A, supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over copper
• Shielding: S/FTP — foil around each pair plus overall braided shield
• Length: 20 meters
• Connector type: RJ45 snagless plugs
• Contact finish: gold-plated contacts for corrosion resistance
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network equipment port (switch, router or patch panel) and the other plug to the destination device or patch point. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to guarantee a secure connection. Route the cable to avoid tight bends and prolonged compression; respect minimum bend radius recommended for CAT6A cables to preserve signal performance. For installations in shielded systems, tie the cable shielding to the grounded patch panel or chassis as part of the overall grounding strategy.

Recommendations

For optimal 10 Gigabit performance, keep cable runs within standard channel length limits and avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines. Use appropriate cable management such as trays or ties that do not crush the jacket. In environments where reduced toxic emissions are required, choose LSZH-jacketed cables; note that LSZH can be less flexible than PVC and should be handled accordingly during installation.
