ACT networking cable Cat6a U/FTP (STP) RJ-45–RJ-45 1.5 m Black DA7951

ACT DA7951 is a 1.5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with 90° angled-down to 90° angled-up RJ45 connectors. The cable is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet links and intended for use in patch panels, switches and workstation connections. Its slim 3.8 mm outer jacket improves airflow in racks and cabinets compared with standard Cat6a cords, while the LSZH jacket reduces the risk of toxic gases in case of fire.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter and reduced bend radius allow denser cable routing and better airflow in server racks and network cabinets without compromising signal integrity. Full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable electrical contact and consistent performance. LSZH jacket material lowers the release of harmful smoke and halogens if the cable is exposed to fire or overheating.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches and patch panels in data centers
• Connections behind racks and equipment where space is limited
• Workstation or office network links requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is optimized for short to medium patching runs inside cabinets and racks; it is not intended as in-wall or external outdoor cabling. Environments that require extreme mechanical protection or burial-rated cables may need a different, more rugged cable type.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/FTP (STP)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductors: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connectors: RJ45 90° angled down to RJ45 90° angled up
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold on RJ45 contacts
• Outer jacket diameter: 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

• Rated for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and supports PoE (up to 30 W)

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels, switches or network devices, taking care to route the slim cable along cable management paths to maintain bend radius and airflow. For best performance, avoid sharp bends and excessive tension; verify connector seating and test the link after installation to ensure proper 10 Gigabit operation.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and connector orientation (90° down to 90° up)
• Whether the slim 3.8 mm diameter and reduced bend radius fit your cabinet routing and airflow needs
• Need for LSZH jacket material in your installation environment
• Compatibility with intended devices for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE requirements

Usage recommendations

Use the ACT DA7951 for short patch runs inside racks and cabinets where space is tight; route cables through horizontal and vertical managers to preserve the bend radius and maintain airflow, and test each link after installation.
