ACT DB7805 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 5 m, RJ-45, Yellow

The ACT DB7805 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for demanding professional networking environments. With a length of 5 meters, this cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an ideal solution for high-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications. The cable features a slimline design with a 4.5mm diameter, which significantly improves airflow within server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

Advantages

This network cable utilizes high-quality full copper 30AWG conductors and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to ensure optimal signal integrity and minimal interference. The S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable connectivity even in dense cabling environments. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of fire or short circuits. Furthermore, the snagless design of the connectors prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation and removal, while the smaller bending radius allows for easier routing in tight spaces.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connectivity
• Professional office network installations
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W
• Environments requiring strict fire safety standards

When it may not be suitable

Due to the use of 30AWG wire, this cable may experience higher attenuation at very long distances compared to thicker 22-28AWG cables. It is primarily designed for patch connections within racks rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 5 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 Straight Male
• Contact plating: 50µ Gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG
• Cable diameter: 4.5 mm

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 you hear a click. The snagless design ensures the connector remains secure. When routing the cable through a server rack, take advantage of the slim 4.5mm diameter to organize cables neatly, which helps maintain proper airflow and cooling for your hardware. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Check if your network equipment supports 10GBASE-T
• Ensure the RJ-45 ports are accessible and not obstructed
• Confirm that the yellow color meets your cable management identification needs

Usage recommendations

For best performance in high-density environments, use this cable for patch connections within the same rack or adjacent cabinets. Avoid excessive pulling or sharp bending during installation to preserve the integrity of the internal copper conductors.
