ACT DB7503 Cat6a S/FTP Networking Cable, 3 m, RJ-45, Red

The ACT DB7503 is a high-performance 3-meter Cat6a S/FTP networking cable engineered for demanding data environments. Designed to support high-speed data transmission up to 10,000 Mbit/s, this cable features double shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity. With its slimline design and durable LSZH jacket, it provides a reliable solution for professional network setups requiring high bandwidth and efficient cable management.

Advantages

This cable offers significant benefits for modern network infrastructures, particularly in high-density server racks. The slimline 4.5mm outer diameter allows for improved airflow and easier cable routing compared to standard patch cords. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures excellent conductivity and long-term durability. Furthermore, the LSZH jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it a responsible choice for enclosed spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connections
• Professional office network installations
• Environments requiring improved airflow and cable organization
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance runs exceeding standard patch cord limitations, as the 30AWG wire gauge results in higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker 22-28 AWG cables. It is primarily intended for short-range patching rather than permanent horizontal cabling.

• Color: Red

How to use

To use the ACT DB7503, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design ensures the locking tab is protected during installation. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance. The slim profile makes it ideal for routing through tight spaces in server cabinets where airflow is critical.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific connection to ensure the 3-meter cable is sufficient.
• Confirm that your networking equipment supports Cat6a standards for 10Gbit speeds.
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for fire safety compliance.
• Ensure the 30AWG wire gauge meets the specific attenuation requirements of your network architecture.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable during installation. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a clean signal path. In high-density environments, utilize cable management accessories to organize the slimline cables and maximize airflow within the rack.
