ACT DB7852 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 0.25m, RJ-45, Yellow

The ACT DB7852 Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for demanding professional and home networking environments. Measuring 0.25 meters in length, this yellow patch cable is engineered to support data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s, making it an excellent choice for high-speed Ethernet applications. With its slimline design and durable construction, it provides a reliable link between network devices while maintaining signal integrity through advanced shielding.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline design with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves airflow and cable management within dense server racks and network cabinets. The use of full copper 30AWG conductors combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures superior conductivity and resistance to corrosion. Furthermore, the S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, ensuring stable performance. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire, making it a responsible choice for modern infrastructure.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• Professional networking setups requiring high bandwidth
• Home office environments with limited space
• Applications requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W
• Organizing connections in crowded network cabinets

This cable may not be suitable for long-distance runs due to its 30AWG wire gauge, which can lead to higher signal attenuation at higher frequencies compared to thicker cables. It is specifically optimized for short-range patching within racks or between adjacent devices.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 meters
• Standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG
• Color: Yellow

To use the ACT DB7852, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network switch, router, or patch panel. Ensure the connector clicks securely into place to maintain a stable connection. Because of its slimline design and reduced bending radius, this cable is particularly easy to route through tight spaces or cable management arms in server racks.

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 performance.
• Confirm that the 30AWG wire gauge meets the requirements for your specific installation environment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and longevity, avoid sharp bends or excessive tension on the cable during installation. Ensure that the cable is routed away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential signal interference.
