ACT networking cable DA5900 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) with RJ-45 to RJ-45, 0.5 m, black

ACT DA5900 is a 0.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50µ gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts, and features an LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket. Its reduced outer diameter improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduced electromagnetic interference for short-distance connections between switches, patch panels and devices.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm cable diameter and smaller bend radius save space in crowded racks and behind equipment without compromising signal integrity. U/FTP shielding and gold‑plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and reduced crosstalk. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire or cable damage. Cable assemblies are 100% tested and comply with international standards.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, patch panels and networked devices
• High‑density server racks or network cabinets where space and airflow are important
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links over short distances

When it may not be suitable

Because the cable is only 0.5 m long, it is not intended for long runs or installations requiring greater separation between devices. Environments that require specialized jacketing (for example, direct burial or extreme outdoor exposure) may need a different cable type.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/FTP (STP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: full copper, 32AWG
• Connectors: RJ‑45 angled 90° down to RJ‑45 angled 90° down
• Contacts: 50µ gold plated
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ‑45 angled plug to your switch or patch panel port and the other angled plug to the target device or panel. Route the slim cable along cable management channels or in tight spaces while maintaining gentle bends at connector ends to preserve the bend radius. The angled down connectors help when space behind equipment is limited; avoid excessive pulling or sharp kinks during installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this model is 0.5 m
• Connector orientation — both ends are RJ‑45 90° angled down
• Compatibility with 10 Gigabit Ethernet and your networking equipment
• Whether LSZH jacket and slim diameter meet your site safety and airflow needs

Usage recommendations

Use the ACT DA5900 for short, high‑density patching in server rooms and cabinets where space and airflow matter; handle connectors gently and avoid tight kinks to maintain performance.
