ACT DB7005 Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable, 5 m, RJ-45, Grey

The ACT DB7005 is a high-performance 5-meter Cat6a S/FTP networking cable engineered for demanding professional environments. This slimline patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s and a bandwidth of 500MHz, ensuring reliable and high-speed connectivity for modern network infrastructures. With its advanced S/FTP shielding and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference and signal loss.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline design with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow within server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords. The use of full copper 30AWG wires ensures consistent performance, while the snagless connector design prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit, making it a responsible choice for both office and data center environments.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in high-speed networks
• Data center and server rack installations where space is limited
• Environments requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher signal attenuation over long distances compared to thicker 22-28 AWG cables. It is primarily intended for patch connections rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

How to use

To use the ACT DB7005, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal. Ensure the cable is routed neatly through cable management systems to maintain optimal airflow and prevent excessive bending, which helps preserve the integrity of the internal copper wires.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 5-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup.
• Ensure your networking hardware supports Cat6a standards for maximum performance.
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for fire safety compliance.
• Confirm that the 30AWG slimline design meets your specific technical requirements for cable density.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in server racks, use the smaller bending radius of this slimline cable to organize your connections efficiently. Always avoid sharp bends or crushing the cable to maintain signal quality.
