Networking cable ACT DA7900 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black 0.5 m with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

ACT DA7900 is a slimline Cat6a U/FTP (STP) patch cable in black, 0.5 m long with RJ‑45 angled connectors and gold‑plated contacts. It is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and shielded data transmission to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic interference. The cable’s reduced outer diameter and slim construction improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets while preserving the required bend radius for reliable performance.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm jacket reduces cable bulk and improves ventilation in dense rack environments compared with standard Cat6a patch cords. The 90° angled down to 90° angled up RJ‑45 connectors save space behind equipment and in patch panels without compromising the cable bend radius. Full copper 32 AWG conductors and 50 µm gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts provide stable signal transmission. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Short interconnects in server racks and network cabinets
• Patch panels and rack-mounted switches with limited rear clearance
• Connections between network equipment and workstations in confined spaces
• Environments requiring shielded cabling to reduce EMI and crosstalk

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is intended for short links and high-density installations; it may not be ideal for long horizontal runs where thicker, lower-loss cables are preferred. If maximum mechanical robustness or outdoor/direct-burial use is required, a cable with a more rugged jacket or different rating should be chosen.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/FTP (shielded pair) suitable for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector type: RJ‑45 angled down to RJ‑45 angled up
• Contact plating: 50 µm gold-plated contacts
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 30 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the RJ‑45 angled connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices ensuring the cable follows a gentle bend and does not exceed the recommended bend radius. The angled connectors are oriented to minimize stress and save space behind equipment; confirm connector orientation fits the installation (down/up). Use the cable for short, shielded links inside racks or between nearby devices.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.5 m long
• Connector orientation — angled down to angled up suits limited rear clearance installations
• Shielding needs — U/FTP offers improved EMI and crosstalk protection
• Installation environment — LSZH jacket is preferable for indoor, enclosed spaces
• PoE power requirements — supports up to 30 W

Usage recommendations

For best performance in high-density racks, route slimline cables to maintain airflow and avoid tight kinks; verify connector orientation before installing to ensure correct fit behind equipment.
