ACT DB7902 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, 2 m, RJ-45, Black

The ACT DB7902 is a high-performance 2-meter Cat6a S/FTP network cable engineered for demanding professional environments. This slimline patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz, making it an excellent choice for modern high-speed networking infrastructures. With its double-shielded design and high-quality copper construction, it provides reliable connectivity while minimizing electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable is its slimline design, which features a reduced outer diameter of 4.5 mm compared to standard patch cords. This compact profile allows for better cable management within dense server racks and network cabinets, significantly improving airflow and cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the cable is constructed with a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket, which enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit. The inclusion of 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures superior signal integrity and long-term durability for critical network connections.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• Connecting workstations to network switches
• Professional networking setups requiring 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Environments where space-saving cable management is essential
• Applications requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

This 30AWG cable may experience higher signal attenuation at very long distances compared to thicker 22-28AWG cables, which is a factor to consider for specific high-frequency applications. It is primarily designed for patch connections rather than long-distance permanent link installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 2 meters
• Cable standard: Cat6a S/FTP
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Maximum bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W

How to use

To use the ACT DB7902, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch, router, or server. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab breaking. Ensure that the cable is routed neatly through your cable management system to maintain the integrity of the connection and to take full advantage of the slimline design for improved airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 2-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection path.
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat6a standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Consider the 30AWG wire gauge if your installation requires extremely long runs, as this cable is optimized for patch panel and rack connectivity.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum radius and ensure that it is not pinched or crushed by heavy equipment. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a stable 10Gbit connection.
