ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable, 7m, LSZH, RJ45, Grey

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for demanding environments where space efficiency and reliable data transmission are critical. Measuring 7 meters in length, this grey cable supports speeds up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an ideal choice for 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. Its slimline design, featuring a reduced outer diameter of 4.5mm, significantly improves airflow within server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity through its S/FTP shielding, which effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensures consistent connectivity and long-term durability. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket provides an essential safety feature by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit. Furthermore, the snagless connector design prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation and removal, ensuring a secure fit every time.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and data centers
• Professional office network installations
• Environments requiring improved cable management and airflow
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance permanent building installations where standard 22-28 AWG cabling is preferred to minimize signal attenuation. Due to its 30 AWG construction, it is optimized for patch panel connections rather than long-run horizontal cabling.

Key specifications

• Length: 7 meters
• Standard: CAT6A S/FTP
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ45 (Male to Male)
• Jacket material: LSZH
• Wire gauge: 30 AWG
• Color: Grey

To use this cable, simply insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the tab catching on other cables. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Confirm that your network equipment supports CAT6A standards
• Check if your environment requires LSZH compliance for safety regulations

For optimal performance in high-density environments, use these slimline cables to improve airflow and cable organization within your server rack. Always ensure that the cable is routed away from sharp edges to prevent damage to the jacket.
