ACT Yellow 15 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 15 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable provides a high-performance connection for Ethernet networks requiring Cat6a capabilities. Constructed with full copper AWG#26 conductors and shielded foil-and-braid SFTP design, this cable supports high-speed data transfer while minimising interference. The bright yellow jacket improves visibility in patch panels and cable runs, and snagless RJ45 connectors with 50µ gold-plated contacts ensure reliable mating and low contact resistance. All cables are 100% tested and the design complies with ACT specifications verified by an independent certification institute.

Advantages

The cable combines SFTP shielding and full copper conductors to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference, enabling stable performance in dense or electrically noisy environments. Snagless RJ45 boots protect connector clips during installation and the 50µ gold plating on contacts improves corrosion resistance and signal integrity. The 15 m length offers flexibility for inter-rack and longer in-room connections while the yellow jacket allows quick visual identification among other cables.

Suitable for

• High-speed Ethernet links up to Cat6a performance
• Patch panel to switch or switch to server connections
• Office, data centre and structured cabling environments
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference where shielded cables are preferred

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, router or network card) and the other end to the corresponding patch panel or device port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks and avoid sharp bends near the connectors to maintain cable performance. Maintain proper cable management and separation from power cables where possible to further reduce interference.

Recommendations

For best results use this SFTP CAT6A cable in shielded or grounded installations to take full advantage of the foil and braid shielding. Avoid repeated flexing at the connector strain relief and keep bend radius above manufacturer-recommended limits to preserve signal integrity and prolong service life.
