ACT geel 20 meter SFTP CAT6A patchkabel rastnasenbescherming met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Yellow 20 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable FB6820 is a shielded twisted-pair network cable designed for reliable high-speed data transmission over 20 metres. It uses RJ-45 connectors with snagless boots and gold-plated contacts to maintain connection integrity and reduce signal loss. The yellow outer jacket provides high visibility for easy identification in patch panels, server rooms and mixed-cable installations.

Advantages

The SFTP construction combines overall foil shielding with individually shielded pairs to reduce electromagnetic interference and crosstalk in crowded cabling environments. Gold-plated contacts improve corrosion resistance and ensure stable conductivity. The snagless RJ-45 boots protect the connector latch during installation and removal, while the 20 m length covers longer links without intermediate patch points. The bright yellow jacket simplifies cable management and fault finding.

Suitable for

• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links within the specified 20 m range
• Structured cabling in offices, data centres and telecom racks
• Connections between switches, routers, patch panels and network devices
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A (augmented CAT6)
• Shielding: SFTP — overall foil with individually shielded pairs
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45 with snagless boots
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Length: 20 m
• Colour: yellow

How to use

Ensure both network devices are powered down or configured for hot-plugging before connecting the patch cable. Insert each RJ-45 connector fully into the corresponding Ethernet port until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and reduce strain on the connectors; maintain the minimum bend radius recommended for CAT6A cabling. For permanent installations, label both ends to match your rack or patch panel documentation.

Recommendations

Use the cable within its specified 20 m length for optimal 10 Gbps performance, avoid running parallel to high-voltage power lines to reduce interference, and periodically inspect connectors for damage or corrosion to maintain reliable connections.
