Networking cable ACT DA5930 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black 0.15 m with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

ACT DA5930 is a 0.15 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable designed for short jumper connections in dense rack, cabinet or desktop environments. The cable has an outer jacket diameter of 3.8 mm, reducing cable bulk and improving airflow in server racks and network cabinets. Both ends use 90° down RJ‑45 angled connectors with 50 µin gold‑plated contacts and full copper 32AWG conductors. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic halogen gases in case of fire or cable damage, and the cable conforms to international standards.

Advantages

The slimline construction (3.8 mm) and smaller bend radius save space and allow cleaner cable routing while maintaining Cat6a performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. Shielding (U/FTP) lowers interference and the LSZH outer jacket increases safety in environments where smoke and toxic gas emission must be minimised. Gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts and solid copper conductors ensure reliable low‑loss connections for short patching distances.

Suitable for

• Short patching between equipment in server racks and network cabinets
• Dense cabling runs where reduced cable diameter improves airflow
• Desktop or lab setups requiring short jumper cables for 10 Gigabit Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This 0.15 m cable is intended for short connections; it is not suitable for long horizontal or backbone runs. If a straight or different angled connector orientation is required (for example straight, 90° up, left or right), choose the appropriate variant rather than this down‑to‑down angled version.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Shielding: U/FTP (STP)
• Cable outer diameter: 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector type: RJ‑45 angled 90° down at both ends
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect each RJ‑45 angled plug to the corresponding network ports on switches, patch panels or devices, ensuring the cable routing follows the available clearance to avoid excessive strain on connectors. The slim diameter allows close packing of cables in racks and cabinets; avoid tight kinks and maintain a reasonable bend radius consistent with Cat6a specifications for optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this model is 0.15 m for very short connections
• Connector orientation — this version features 90° angled down connectors at both ends
• Shielding needs — U/FTP provides better protection against interference than unshielded cables
• Fire safety requirements — LSZH jacket is preferable in enclosed or public spaces

Usage recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a U/FTP patch cable for short 10 Gigabit Ethernet jumper connections in dense racks or behind equipment where space is limited; choose matching angled orientation and avoid excessive bending to preserve signal integrity.
