Câble patch ACT CAT6 S/FTP PVC Stranded Red 305 m

The ACT CAT6 S/FTP PVC stranded patch cable in red, 305 m, is a bulk-length network cable designed for structured cabling and large installations. This cable is built to support high-speed data transmission, including Gigabit Ethernet, and uses S/FTP construction to reduce crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. The flexible stranded conductor and PVC outer jacket make it suitable for routing through conduits and cable trays while providing mechanical protection and ease of handling.

Advantages

The S/FTP shielding combines an overall foil with individually foil‑shielded pairs to provide improved protection against crosstalk and EMI compared with unshielded alternatives. The stranded conductor improves flexibility for installation runs and frequent movement, while the PVC jacket offers abrasion resistance and cost-effective protection. The red color improves cable identification in multi-cable environments and simplifies maintenance and troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Structured network backbones and horizontal cabling in offices and server rooms
• Large-scale installations where continuous spool length is required
• Environments requiring reduced electromagnetic interference and improved signal integrity
• Temporary or semi-permanent installations that benefit from flexible stranded conductors

Key specifications

• Cable category: Category 6 (Cat6)
• Conductor type: Stranded copper conductors for enhanced flexibility
• Shielding: S/FTP — overall foil with individually foil-shielded pairs
• Outer jacket material: PVC (polyvinyl chloride)
• Color: Red
• Length: 305 meters on a single spool
• Supported data rates: Suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and typical Cat6 bandwidths

How to use

Measure and cut the required length from the 305 m spool, leaving service slack where needed for routing and termination. Strip the outer jacket and any overall foil carefully to avoid damaging the individual pair shields. Terminate using compatible RJ45 connectors or patch panels that support shielded Cat6 cables; ensure the connector and termination method maintain the shielding continuity by connecting drain wires or using shielded connectors and properly grounding the cable. Route the cable through conduits, cable trays, or along cable management pathways, avoiding sharp bends and sources of strong electromagnetic fields where possible.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, preserve the integrity of the S/FTP shielding during termination and grounding. Use shielded RJ45 connectors and shielded patch panels, and maintain bend radius guidelines to avoid degrading signal quality. Store the spool in a dry, dust-free area and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or high temperatures to preserve the PVC jacket.
