ACT DB7801 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 1m, RJ-45, Yellow

The ACT DB7801 is a high-performance 1-meter Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for demanding professional networking environments. This slimline patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s and a bandwidth of 500MHz, ensuring reliable and high-speed connectivity for modern data centers and office networks. With its durable construction and advanced shielding, it provides a stable connection while maintaining a compact profile for efficient cable management.

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 RJ-45 contacts ensures excellent signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the cable is equipped with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of fire or short circuits. The snagless design protects the connector tabs, facilitating easy installation and removal without the risk of breakage.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet local area networks
• Data center server rack connections
• Professional office network installations
• 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 long distances or extremely high frequencies compared to thicker standard patch cords. It is primarily optimized for short-range patching within cabinets rather than long-distance permanent building wiring.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 Straight Male with 50µ gold plating
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Outer diameter: 4.5mm
• Color: Yellow

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance. The slim profile makes it ideal for high-density installations where space is limited and airflow is critical.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 1-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection path.
• Ensure your networking hardware supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Confirm that the 30AWG wire gauge meets the requirements of your specific network infrastructure.
• Check if the yellow color is suitable for your cable management color-coding scheme.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in high-density environments, route the cables through cable management panels to maintain organized airflow and prevent excessive strain on the connectors. Regularly inspect the cable jacket for any signs of physical damage to ensure continued safety and signal integrity.
