ACT DC7952 Cat6a U/FTP slimline network patch cable 0.25 m black with RJ45 connectors LSZH

The ACT DC7952 Cat6a U/FTP slimline network patch cable is a professional solution designed for high-speed data transfer in modern datacenters and network environments. Measuring 0.25 meters in length, this black patch cord combines reliable performance with a space-saving design, featuring shielded U/FTP construction and RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for optimal signal transmission.

Advantages

This slimline network patch cable offers a significantly smaller outer diameter of just 3.8mm compared to standard 5.9mm patch cords, resulting in a tighter bending radius and improved airflow inside crowded network cabinets. The full copper 32AWG wires and 50µ gold RJ-45 contacts ensure stable connectivity, while the snagless boots prevent damage during installation and removal. Built with a low smoke zero halogen LSZH jacket, the cable enhances safety by emitting limited smoke and no halogens when exposed to high sources of heat. Every cable is 100% tested to comply with international standards and is backed by a reliable warranty.

Suitable for

• Datacenter switch-to-patch-panel connections
• High-density networking cabinets with limited space
• Short-distance Gigabit and 10-Gigabit Ethernet links
• Professional structured cabling channel applications

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be ideal for long-distance runs or permanent links exceeding standard recommendations for 32AWG cables due to higher signal attenuation at elevated frequencies. It is also not suited for outdoor installations where exposure to direct sunlight and weather elements requires weather-resistant jacketing.

Key specifications

• Cat6a U/FTP shielding
• 0.25 meter length
• RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male connectors
• 32AWG full copper wires
• 50µ gold-plated connector contacts
• 3.8mm outer diameter LSZH jacket
• Black color
• Snagless connector boots

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug into the network port of a switch, router, or patch panel, and insert the other plug into the receiving network device until the latch clicks securely into place. Due to the snagless design, the latch is protected against catching on adjacent cables during routing. Ensure the cable is routed neatly within the cabinet to maintain optimal airflow and avoid exceeding the recommended bending radius.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.25-meter length is sufficient for the distance between your connected networking devices
• Confirm that your network setup supports Cat6a U/FTP cabling standards
• Check PoE bundle size limits if utilizing Power over Ethernet applications

Usage recommendations: Maintain a maximum bundle size of 24 cables when using Power over Ethernet to prevent excessive temperature increases. Ensure permanent link lengths are kept shorter than standard 24AWG cords to accommodate the higher attenuation associated with 32AWG thin cables.
