ACT DB7552 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 0.25m, RJ-45, Red

The ACT DB7552 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10 Gbit/s. With a length of 0.25 meters and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, this shielded patch cable is designed to minimize electromagnetic interference and maintain optimal signal integrity. Its slimline, snagless construction and LSZH jacket make it a professional-grade solution for modern networking environments.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline design with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow and cable management within high-density server racks. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated contacts ensures consistent performance and durability. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of fire or short circuits, making it suitable for sensitive environments.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and data centers
• Connecting office equipment to local area networks
• Environments requiring improved airflow and cable organization
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher attenuation at very long distances or extremely high frequencies compared to standard 22-28AWG cables. It is primarily intended for short-distance patching rather than long-run permanent installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 Straight Male with 50µ gold plating
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W
• Cable diameter: 4.5mm

How to use

To use the cable, 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 signal quality, especially in tight rack spaces.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.25-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection path.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum 10 Gbit/s speeds.
• Confirm that the slimline 30AWG cable meets the requirements for your specific installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in server racks, use these slimline cables to improve airflow and reduce clutter. Always ensure that the cable is fully seated in the port to maintain a secure connection and prevent data loss.
