Patch cable ACT CAT6A SFTP 0.25 m snagless with RJ45 connectors FB2352

ACT CAT6A SFTP patch cable model FB2352 is a 0.25 m snagless Ethernet lead with RJ45 connectors designed for short interconnects in data cabinets, patch panels and network devices. The cable follows CAT6A performance guidelines and uses foil‑shielded twisted pair (SFTP) construction to limit electromagnetic interference and maintain signal integrity for high‑speed Ethernet links.

Advantages

The compact 0.25 m length reduces cable clutter and improves airflow in dense rack environments while the snagless strain‑relief on the RJ45 boots protects connector clips during insertion and removal. Foil shielding around the twisted pairs provides additional protection from external noise, helping to preserve throughput at higher frequencies typical of 10 Gbps and other demanding Ethernet standards. The standardized RJ45 terminations ensure compatibility with common network ports.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m cable is intended for very short links and will not be suitable when longer reach is required; for runs between floors or rooms select a longer cable or permanent link cable. It is also not a replacement for a fully shielded external cabling solution designed for harsh industrial environments where additional mechanical protection or conduit is needed.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network device port and the other plug to the patch panel or switch port. Ensure the connector latch fully engages to establish a secure physical and electrical connection. Use the short cable to create tidy, low‑profile links in racks or between closely spaced devices, avoiding excessive bending at the connector area to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this ACT CAT6A SFTP 0.25 m snagless patch cable for short, high‑density patching scenarios where CAT6A performance and reduced EMI are required. Route it with gentle curves, keep it clear of power cables where possible, and use colour coding to simplify identification in multi‑cable installations.
