ACT DB7530 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 0.15 m, Red

The ACT DB7530 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for demanding data environments. Measuring 0.15 meters in length, this slimline patch cable is designed to provide reliable 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity with a maximum bandwidth of 500MHz. Featuring a durable LSZH jacket and high-quality copper wiring, it ensures stable performance while maintaining safety standards in professional networking installations.

Advantages

This cable offers significant space-saving benefits due to its slim 4.5mm outer diameter, which facilitates better airflow within crowded server racks and network cabinets. The S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity. With 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, the cable guarantees optimal conductivity and corrosion resistance. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it a responsible choice for modern data centers and office infrastructures.

Suitable for

• High-speed data transmission in server rooms
• Connecting network switches and patch panels
• Home office setups requiring 10Gbps Ethernet
• Environments where cable management and airflow are critical
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for long-distance connections due to its 0.15-meter length. Additionally, because it utilizes 30AWG wiring, it may experience higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker standard patch cords, which should be considered for specific long-run high-frequency applications.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 meters
• Cable standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 straight male
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Outer diameter: 4.5mm
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W

How to use

To use the ACT DB7530, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a switch, router, or server. Ensure the connector is fully seated until you hear a click. Due to the snagless design, the cable is easy to insert and remove without the locking tab catching on other cables. The short 0.15-meter length makes it ideal for patching between adjacent ports in a rack-mount environment.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.15-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection distance.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum 10Gbps speeds.
• Confirm that the slimline 30AWG design meets your specific attenuation requirements for your network topology.

Usage recommendations

For optimal network performance, ensure that all patch cables are routed neatly to maintain airflow and avoid sharp bends that could stress the internal copper wiring. Regularly inspect connections in high-density environments to ensure they remain secure.
