ACT Yellow 5 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 5 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable provides a shielded connection for high-speed networks. It features full copper AWG#26 conductors and 50µ gold-plated RJ‑45 contacts, with snagless RJ45 connectors for easier handling. The cable is 100% tested and ACT specifications are verified by an independent certification institute, ensuring consistent performance for demanding network applications.

Advantages

Shielded SFTP design reduces electromagnetic interference and improves signal integrity. Full copper AWG#26 wires offer reliable conductivity while 50µ gold-plated RJ‑45 contacts increase corrosion resistance and ensure stable connections. Snagless connector boots protect the clip during installation and routing. Manufacturer and independent verification of ACT specifications provide additional assurance of quality.

Suitable for

• 10 Gbps Ethernet links in local area networks
• Server racks and data center patching
• Desktop and office network connections
• Connects switches, routers, PCs and networked devices

How to use

Plug each RJ‑45 connector into the corresponding network ports on your devices (switch, router, PC or patch panel). Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic interference. For rack installations, secure the cable with appropriate ties or management accessories to prevent strain on the connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use this SFTP CAT6A cable for short to medium cable runs up to 5 m and maintain proper cable management to minimise interference and mechanical stress. Avoid repeated excessive bending at the connector boot and keep the cable away from high-power electrical cables where possible.
