ACT networking cable DD1952 Cat6 U/FTP (STP) 0.25 m Black RJ-45 to RJ-45

ACT DD1952 is a 0.25 m CAT6 U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with angled, 360° rotatable RJ45 connectors on both ends. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts to ensure reliable signal transmission. With a thin 4 mm jacket and reduced diameter compared to standard CAT6A cords, the cable is intended for short links between network equipment, patch panels and switches where space is limited and improved rack airflow is desired.

Advantages

The slim 4 mm jacket and smaller overall diameter reduce obstructed airflow in cabinets and racks while the improved bend radius allows neat routing in tight spaces. The angled, 360° rotatable RJ45 connectors let you position the plug precisely to avoid cable stress and to keep installations tidy. Full copper 32AWG conductors combined with 50 µin gold-plated contacts provide consistent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and durability. The cable is 100% tested and comes with a 5-year warranty.

Suitable for

• Short patch links between switches, patch panels and servers
• Dense rack or network cabinet installations with limited space
• Desktop or equipment rear connections where a low-profile cable and flexible connector orientation are required

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m slimline cable is intended for short interconnects; it is not suitable for runs that require longer reach. Because the conductors are 32AWG and the jacket is slim, it may be less suitable where mechanical robustness against heavy pulling or repeated flexing is required compared with thicker, more rugged patch cords.

Key specifications

• Length: 0.25 m
• Category: Cat6 U/FTP (shielded pairs)
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector type: RJ45 angled, 360° rotatable on both ends
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plating
• Outer jacket diameter: 4 mm
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to a network switch, patch panel or device and the other to the corresponding port. Rotate the angled RJ45 connector to the desired orientation before seating the plug to achieve a low-profile routing and to avoid strain on the cable. Use the 0.25 m length for short interconnects within racks, cabinets or close equipment placements.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.25 m and intended for short links
• Mechanical durability — slim 4 mm jacket and 32AWG conductors are less robust than thicker cables
• Compatibility — Cat6 U/FTP is suitable for shielded structured cabling environments
• Connector orientation — angled, rotatable RJ45 plugs are designed for tight spaces

Usage recommendations

For neat, low-profile installations in dense racks or behind equipment, use this slimline CAT6 U/FTP cable for short patch connections and rotate the RJ45 connectors to minimise stress and improve cabinet airflow.
