ACT DB7053 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 2.5 m, RJ-45, Grey

The ACT DB7053 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable designed to provide reliable and fast data transmission for professional networking environments. With a length of 2.5 meters and a slimline design, this cable is engineered to support data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an excellent choice for demanding high-speed internet hardware, servers, and switches.

Advantages

This network cable features a sophisticated S/FTP shielding construction that effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring optimal signal integrity even in dense networking setups. The slimline 4.5mm diameter allows for better cable management and improved airflow within server racks compared to standard cables. Furthermore, the use of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire. The inclusion of 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures a durable and high-quality connection, while the snagless design protects the connector tabs during installation.

Suitable for

• Connecting servers and network switches in data centers
• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet home or office networks
• 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 installations exceeding the standard patch cord limitations, as the 30AWG wire gauge may experience higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker 22-28AWG cables. It is primarily intended for short-run connections within cabinets or between adjacent devices.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2.5 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 (male to male)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Cable diameter: 4.5 mm

To use the ACT DB7053, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device until you hear a click. The snagless design ensures that the locking tab is protected during insertion and removal. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain signal quality and prevent internal damage to the copper wires.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2.5-meter length is sufficient for your specific setup
• Confirm that your network equipment supports Cat6a standards for optimal performance
• Check if your installation environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance

For the best performance, avoid routing the cable near high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage to ensure consistent network stability.
