Network patch cable ACT Cat6a U/UTP DD7902, RJ‑45 to RJ‑45, 2 m, black

ACT DD7902 is a Cat6a U/UTP slimline patch cable with RJ‑45 connectors on both ends and 50 µin gold‑plated contacts. The 2 m black cable has a reduced outer diameter of 3.6 mm compared with standard Cat6a cords, supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat6a and designed for use in racks, cabinets and behind equipment where space and airflow matter.

Advantages

The slimline construction and smaller bend radius allow denser cable routing and improved airflow in server racks and network cabinets without compromising signal integrity. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire or severe damage. Full copper 28 AWG conductors and gold‑plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable connections and compliance with the ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D standard.

Suitable for

• Patching switches and routers in data centers and network cabinets
• Connecting servers and rack equipment where space is limited
• Wall outlet to patch panel runs in offices and homes
• Environments requiring LSZH cabling for reduced smoke and halogen

When it may not be suitable

This cable is not intended for outdoor, direct burial, or permanent riser installations; it is designed for indoor patching in controlled environments. If a thicker, more rugged cable or shielded variant is required for heavy mechanical stress or environments with high electromagnetic interference, choose a shielded or industrial-rated cable instead.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/UTP
• Length: 2 m
• Cable outer diameter: 3.6 mm
• Conductor: solid/core full copper, 28 AWG
• Connectors: RJ‑45 angled (90° down) to RJ‑45 angled (90° up)
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Performance: supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet over Cat6a
• PoE support: compatible with PoE devices up to 30 W
• Colour: black

How to use

Connect the RJ‑45 angled ends to the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels, or devices, ensuring the angled orientation suits the rack or cabinet layout. Route the slimline cable along cable management paths to maintain the improved airflow benefits and avoid sharp kinks beyond the specified bend radius. For reliable performance, insert connectors fully until the latch clicks and avoid excessive pulling on the cable jacket.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm 2 m length fits the intended patching route and port positions
• Ensure an unshielded U/UTP cable meets EMI requirements in your environment
• Verify angled connector orientation (90° down to 90° up) suits your installation; straight or left/right angled variants are available
• Choose LSZH jacket where reduced smoke/halogen emission is required

Usage recommendations

For best results in dense racks, use these slimline Cat6a cables for short patch runs between patch panels and switches or to rear ports of equipment; keep cable bundles organized with horizontal managers and avoid exceeding bend limits to maintain 10GbE performance.
