ACT DB7000 CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable 0.5m, LSZH, RJ45, Grey

The ACT DB7000 is a high-performance 0.5-meter CAT6A slimline patch cable engineered for demanding network environments. This cable features S/FTP shielding to minimize interference and is constructed with a durable LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket, making it a safe and reliable choice for professional installations. With its slim design and snagless RJ45 connectors, it provides excellent connectivity for high-speed data transmission up to 10 Gbit/s.

Advantages

The primary advantage of this slimline patch cable is its reduced outer diameter of 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow within dense server racks and network cabinets compared to standard cables. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated contacts ensures consistent signal integrity and durability. Furthermore, the LSZH jacket material enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire, while the snagless connector design prevents damage to the locking tabs during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• High-density server environments
• Professional network installations
• Data centers requiring optimized airflow
• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher attenuation at longer distances compared to thicker standard patch cords. It is primarily intended for short-range connections within racks and is not recommended for long-distance horizontal cabling runs where signal loss could become a factor.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.5 meters
• Standard: CAT6A S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10 Gbit/s (10000 Mbit/s)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 straight male
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Color: Grey

How to use

To install the cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking equipment or patch panel until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab catching on other cables. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance and signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout.
• Ensure your network equipment supports CAT6A standards for maximum performance.
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for fire safety compliance.
• Confirm that the 30AWG wire gauge meets the requirements of your specific network application.

Usage recommendations: For the best results in high-density environments, use these slimline cables to improve cable management and airflow. Always ensure that the connectors are fully seated in the ports and avoid excessive tension on the cable to maintain long-term reliability.
