ACT DB7507 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 7 m, RJ-45, Red

The ACT DB7507 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable designed for reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10,000 Mbit/s. With a length of 7 meters and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this shielded patch cable provides excellent signal integrity and minimal electromagnetic interference. Its slimline design and durable red LSZH jacket make it an ideal choice for professional networking environments where space efficiency and cable management are critical.

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 combined with 50µ gold-plated contacts ensures stable connectivity and high-speed performance. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit, making it suitable for sensitive environments.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connectivity
• Professional office network installations
• Environments requiring improved cable management and airflow
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications 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 standard 24-26AWG cables. It is primarily optimized for patch connections within racks rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• PoE support: Up to 30W

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your switch, router, or server until it clicks into place. 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. For cable management, utilize the slim profile to route the cable through rack organizers, taking advantage of the reduced volume to maintain clear airflow paths.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat6a standards for maximum speed
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance
• Consider the 30AWG wire gauge if your installation involves very high-frequency long-run requirements

Usage recommendations

For the best performance in high-density environments, route these slimline cables along the sides of the server rack to maximize airflow and prevent signal degradation caused by excessive bending or tight bundling.
