ACT rode 20 meter SFTP CAT6A patchkabel met rastnasbescherming en RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Red 20 meter SFTP CAT6A patch cable FB6520 is a 20 m network patch lead designed for high-speed data transmission in structured cabling and device-to-device connections. Constructed with full copper AWG#26 conductors and S/FTP (screened/foiled twisted pair) shielding, the cable reduces electromagnetic interference and supports the bandwidth and signal integrity expected from CAT6A cabling. Snagless RJ45 connectors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts provide reliable mating and corrosion resistance for long-term use. The red jacket makes cable identification simple in dense installations.

Advantages

The cable's full copper AWG#26 conductors deliver consistent conductivity and lower attenuation across the 20 meter length. S/FTP shielding helps protect each twisted pair and the overall cable from external noise sources, improving performance in electrically noisy environments. Snagless RJ45 plugs prevent latch damage during installation and the 50 µ gold-plated contacts ensure better contact reliability and reduced oxidation over time. The 20 m length reduces the need for intermediate couplers in typical office or equipment room layouts.

Suitable for

• Connecting switches, patch panels and routers in data cabinets and wiring closets
• Workstation to wall outlet or desktop network connections
• High-density rack installations where cable identification and reduced interference are required
• Environments with potential electromagnetic interference such as near power equipment or industrial control systems

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (Augmented)
• Shielding: S/FTP (overall braid with individually foiled pairs)
• Conductor: solid full copper, AWG 26
• Connector type: RJ45 snagless plugs
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Length: 20 meters
• Jacket color: red

How to use

Route the cable between network devices ensuring gentle bends and no sharp kinks to preserve pair geometry. Insert the RJ45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports until the latch clicks; the snagless design protects the latch when pulling the cable through panels or trays. For best performance, avoid running the cable in parallel with heavy power lines for extended distances and maintain recommended bend radius. Terminate each end into compliant CAT6A ports or patch panels to preserve the shield continuity and grounding if required by the installation.

Recommendations

For optimal signal integrity, maintain separation from high-voltage power cables, secure the cable with appropriate cable management, and ensure shield termination to ground where applicable. Use the red jacket to mark critical connections or specific network segments in patching environments.
