ACT DB7500 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 0.5 m, RJ-45, Red

The ACT DB7500 Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a high-performance solution designed for demanding networking environments. Measuring 0.5 meters in length, this red patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it ideal for high-speed internet connections and professional data center setups. Its slimline design and advanced shielding ensure reliable performance while optimizing space and airflow within network cabinets.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline construction with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow and cable management in dense server racks compared to standard patch cords. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures excellent signal integrity and durability. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket provides enhanced safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of fire or short circuits, meeting rigorous international standards for professional installations.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connectivity
• Professional office networking environments
• Applications requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W
• Space-constrained installations where airflow is critical

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for long-distance runs due to its 30AWG wire gauge, which can lead to higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker cables. It is specifically designed for patch connections rather than permanent horizontal cabling installations.

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 Straight Male with 50µ gold plating
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Color: Red

How to use

To use the ACT DB7500, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your switch, router, or network interface card until it clicks into place. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab breaking. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal signal performance. The slim profile makes it particularly easy to route through tight cable management channels in server racks.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific connection to ensure 0.5 meters is sufficient.
• Confirm that your network equipment supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum 10Gbit speeds.
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cables for fire safety compliance.
• Ensure the 30AWG wire gauge meets the requirements of your specific high-frequency application.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in server racks, utilize the slimline design to improve airflow by bundling cables neatly using cable ties or management panels, ensuring that the cable is not pulled taut or subjected to excessive tension.
