ACT DB7952 Cat6a S/FTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 0.25 m, Black

The ACT DB7952 Cat6a S/FTP network cable is a high-performance solution designed for demanding professional networking environments. Measuring 0.25 meters in length, this patch cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500 MHz, ensuring reliable and fast connectivity for your critical hardware. The cable features a slimline design with a 4.5 mm outer diameter, which significantly improves airflow within dense server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

The construction of the ACT DB7952 utilizes full copper 30AWG wires and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts to maintain signal integrity and prevent corrosion. The S/FTP shielding provides excellent protection against electromagnetic interference, while the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of a fire. Each cable is 100% tested to meet international standards, guaranteeing consistent quality and performance.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior cable management capabilities due to its slimline profile and reduced bending radius, making it an ideal choice for high-density installations where space is at a premium. The use of high-quality copper conductors and gold-plated contacts ensures stable data transmission and long-term durability. Furthermore, the LSZH jacket provides an essential safety feature for data centers and office environments, complying with modern fire safety regulations. The snagless connector design prevents the locking tab from breaking during installation or removal, facilitating easy maintenance.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets
• Professional data center environments
• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels
• Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications up to 30W
• Structured cabling systems requiring space-saving solutions

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25-meter cable is not suitable for long-distance connections between rooms or buildings. Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, it may experience higher attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker cables, so it is best reserved for short-range patching within a single rack or cabinet.

How to use

To use the ACT DB7952, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, server, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the latch catching on other cables. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain optimal performance. This cable is designed for indoor use within controlled environments.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.25-meter length is sufficient for your specific rack layout.
• Ensure your networking equipment supports Cat6a standards for maximum performance.
• Confirm that the 30AWG wire gauge meets your specific attenuation requirements for your network infrastructure.
• Check that the RJ-45 interface is compatible with your existing hardware ports.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in high-density environments, use these slimline cables to improve airflow and organize your server rack efficiently. Always ensure the cable is fully seated in the port to maintain a secure connection.
