ACT networking cable DD1903 Cat6 U/FTP (STP) black, 3 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts

ACT DD1903 is a 3 m Cat6 U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable in black featuring angled, 360° rotatable RJ45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. It is intended for shielded Ethernet installations where space is limited, offering a 4 mm outer jacket that reduces cable diameter and improves airflow in cabinets. The cable uses full copper 32 AWG conductors and 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable data transmission and corrosion resistance. Cables are 100% tested and carry a 5-year warranty.

Advantages

The slim 4 mm jacket and reduced bend radius let you route the cable neatly in dense racks and behind equipment without stressing the conductors. Angled 360° rotatable RJ45 connectors provide flexible orientation for tight spaces, while full copper 32 AWG wires and 50 µ gold plating on contacts deliver stable signal quality and durability. Compliance with international standards and full testing ensure consistent performance.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks with limited space
• Network cabinets and patch panels
• Connections between switches, routers and desktop devices
• Shielded Ethernet installations requiring reduced interference

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is optimized for space-restricted environments; in installations where heavy mechanical stress, frequent unplugging under tension, or maximum physical robustness are primary concerns, a thicker standard patch cable may be preferable. Long-distance runs beyond typical patch lengths should use appropriate horizontal or backbone cabling designed for those distances.

Key specifications

• Cable type: Cat6 U/FTP (STP) slimline
• Length: 3 m
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector type: RJ-45 angled, 360° rotatable on both ends
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold
• Outer jacket diameter: 4 mm
• Colour: Black
• Performance: suitable for Gigabit Ethernet and Cat6A applications

How to use

Plug the angled RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on switches, routers, patch panels or network devices. Use the 360° rotatable feature to orient the connector for a tidy installation and to minimize stress on adjacent cables. Route the 4 mm slimline cable through cable management channels or along rack sides to improve airflow and reduce obstruction. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and protect connectors from excessive pulling or twisting.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 3 m fits your rack or cabinet layout
• Whether shielded (U/FTP) cabling is needed for your environment to reduce interference
• Compatibility with device ports and space behind equipment for angled connectors
• Need for higher mechanical robustness versus the benefits of a slimline jacket

Usage recommendations

For neat installations in network cabinets and server racks, orient the rotatable RJ45 connector to follow the shortest path out of the port and route the slimline cable along rack edges or behind patch panels to maintain airflow. Inspect connectors for secure seating and avoid repeated high-tension pulls to preserve contact integrity.
