ACT DB7605 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable 5m Blue RJ-45

The ACT DB7605 is a high-performance 5-meter Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for demanding data environments. This slimline patch cable supports high-speed data transmission up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an ideal solution for professional networking, server racks, and data centers where reliable connectivity and efficient space management are essential.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline design with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow within dense network cabinets compared to standard patch cords. The S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable signal integrity. Constructed with full copper 30AWG wires and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, the cable offers excellent conductivity and durability. Furthermore, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire or short circuit.

Suitable for

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

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker 22-28 AWG cables. It is primarily designed for patch connections rather than long-distance permanent installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 Straight Male with 50µ gold plating
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Color: Blue

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a click. The snagless design ensures easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab breaking. Ensure the cable is routed neatly within your rack or cable management system to maintain the benefits of its slimline profile and to avoid excessive bending beyond its radius limits.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Check if your equipment supports Cat6a standards for optimal performance
• Ensure the 30AWG gauge meets your specific signal attenuation requirements for the intended distance
• Confirm that the RJ-45 interface is compatible with your hardware

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or crushing the cable under heavy equipment. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a secure connection.
