ACT DA7901 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) networking cable, RJ-45 to RJ-45, 1 m, black, gold-plated contacts

ACT DA7901 is a 1 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with 90° angled down to 90° angled up RJ45 connectors. The cable has a reduced outer diameter of 3.8 mm and full copper 32AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts, offering Cat6a performance for short-distance connections in racks, cabinets and behind equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of toxic gas release in case of fire or cable damage.

Advantages

The slimline design reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while maintaining the required bend radius. Gold-plated contacts and full copper conductors support reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The LSZH outer jacket adds safety in enclosed installations by limiting smoke and halogen emissions.

Suitable for

• LAN patching between switches, patch panels and outlets
• Short-distance data links in server racks and network cabinets
• Connections behind equipment where space is limited

When it may not be suitable

This 1 m slimline patch cable is intended for short runs; it is not designed for long-distance backbone cabling. Installations requiring thicker cable jackets for heavy mechanical protection or outdoor use may need a different cable type.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/FTP (STP)
• Length: 1 m
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Contacts: 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts
• Connectors: RJ45 90° angled down to RJ45 90° angled up
• Cable jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: black
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 30 W

How to use

Plug the angled RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or network devices ensuring correct orientation for the tight space. Route the slimline cable along cable management paths inside the rack or cabinet, avoiding sharp edges and excessive pulling. The reduced diameter allows denser cable runs while maintaining the bend radius required for Cat6a performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 1 m is sufficient for the connection
• Need for angled connectors to fit in tight spaces behind equipment or in cabinets
• Whether LSZH jacket is required for fire safety in the installation environment
• Whether PoE power level (up to 30 W) meets device requirements

Usage recommendations

Use the angled-to-angled slimline cable for short patch runs in crowded racks or behind devices where space is limited; avoid routing through outdoor conduits or using for long backbone spans. Maintain proper bend radius and secure the cable with cable management to preserve performance.
