ACT DB7807 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 7 m, Yellow

The ACT DB7807 is a high-performance Cat6a S/FTP network cable designed to provide reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10,000 Mbit/s. This 7-meter yellow patch cable features a slimline design with a 4.5mm outer diameter, making it an excellent choice for high-density networking environments where space management and airflow are critical. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and double shielding, it ensures minimal signal interference and optimal integrity for demanding professional applications.

Advantages

This cable utilizes a high-quality S/FTP shielding construction that effectively protects data signals from electromagnetic interference. The slimline design offers a significant advantage in server racks and network cabinets by occupying less volume and allowing for better airflow compared to standard patch cords. Furthermore, the cable is manufactured with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit. The snagless design of the connectors ensures easy installation and prevents damage to the locking tabs during frequent handling.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connectivity
• Professional local area network (LAN) installations
• Environments requiring improved cable management and airflow
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses 30 AWG wiring, which may result in higher signal attenuation at very long distances or high frequencies compared to thicker 22-28 AWG cables. It is primarily intended for patch connections within racks rather than long-distance permanent building installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 7 meters
• Cable standard: Cat6a S/FTP
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s
• Connector type: RJ-45 (male to male)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Outer diameter: 4.5 mm
• Power over Ethernet: Supported (up to 30W)

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. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain signal quality. When routing the cable through a server rack, utilize cable management accessories to keep the path organized and ensure the slimline design continues to facilitate optimal airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to avoid excessive slack
• Ensure your networking hardware supports Cat6a standards for maximum performance
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cables for fire safety compliance
• Consider the 30 AWG wire gauge if your installation involves extreme high-frequency requirements

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 and ensure they are fully seated in the ports to maintain a stable 10 Gigabit connection.
