ACT DD1951 Cat6 U/FTP (STP) networking cable Black 1.5 m with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

ACT DD1951 is a Cat6 U/FTP (STP) slimline networking patch cable in black with a length of 1.5 m. It is designed for installations with limited space, offering a thin 4 mm jacket to improve airflow in racks and cabinets while maintaining the required bend radius. Both ends have angled, 360° rotatable RJ‑45 connectors and the cable uses full copper 32 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold‑plated contacts for reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The cable is 100% tested and covered by a 5‑year warranty.

Advantages

The slim 4 mm jacket reduces cable bulk and improves cooling in server racks and network cabinets. Angled 360° rotatable RJ‑45 connectors enable flexible routing in tight spaces without compromising the bend radius. Full copper 32 AWG conductors combined with 50 µ gold‑plated contacts provide consistent conductivity and enhanced corrosion resistance for stable data transmission.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, patch panels and servers in server rooms and data centers
• Connections behind wall‑mounted or rack‑mounted equipment with limited clearance
• Office and home networks requiring shielded cable to reduce electromagnetic interference

When it may not be suitable

This slimline Cat6A cable is intended for short to medium patching distances (for example within racks and cabinets) rather than long permanent horizontal runs through buildings. It uses 32 AWG conductors which are thinner than standard bulk cabling; for long-distance runs or installations that require thicker conductors for mechanical robustness, standard diameter cables may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A U/FTP (shielded pairs)
• Length: 1.5 m
• Cable jacket diameter: 4 mm
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connectors: angled RJ‑45 (male) with 360° rotatable swivel
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold
• Colour: Black
• 100% tested; compliant with international standards

How to use

Route the slimline cable between the two network endpoints, using the 360° rotatable angled RJ‑45 connectors to align the plug with limited space behind equipment or inside cabinets. Insert the RJ‑45 plugs into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or devices until they click. Avoid sharp bends beyond the recommended bend radius and secure cables neatly to maintain airflow and prevent mechanical strain.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended cable run length and whether 1.5 m is sufficient
• Need for shielded U/FTP cabling to reduce electromagnetic interference
• Whether 32 AWG conductors meet mechanical robustness requirements for your installation
• Compatibility of angled RJ‑45 orientation with your equipment layout

Usage recommendations

For tidy rack installations and tight equipment spacing, use the angled 360° rotatable RJ‑45 connectors to route the cable along panel edges or cable management channels, and avoid sharp kinks to preserve signal integrity and cable lifespan.
