ACT DB7951 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable 1.5m Black RJ-45

The ACT DB7951 Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a high-performance solution designed for demanding professional networking environments. Measuring 1.5 meters in length, this slimline patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it an ideal choice for high-speed local area networks. Its construction features full copper 30AWG wires and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts, ensuring reliable signal integrity and minimal interference.

Advantages

This cable stands out due to its slimline design, which features an outer jacket diameter of only 4.5mm. This reduced size facilitates better cable management and improves airflow within crowded server racks or network cabinets. The use of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of fire or short circuits. Furthermore, the snagless connector design protects the locking tabs during installation, while the S/FTP shielding provides superior protection against electromagnetic interference.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in high-speed networks
• High-density server rack environments
• Data centers requiring improved airflow
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher attenuation at very long distances compared to thicker standard cables. It is primarily designed for patch connections within racks or short-distance links rather than long-distance permanent building installations.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1.5 meters
• Cable standard: Cat6a S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: 10,000 Mbit/s (10 Gigabit Ethernet)
• Bandwidth: 500 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 Straight Male
• Connector plating: 50µ Gold
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W

How to use

To use the ACT DB7951, 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. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the tab catching on other cables. Ensure the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance and signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup
• Ensure your network hardware supports Cat6a standards for maximum speed
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cables for fire safety compliance
• Consider the slimline diameter if you are working in a space-constrained server rack

Usage recommendations

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