ACT DF7901 Cat7 S/FTP Networking Cable, RJ-45, 1 m, Black

The ACT DF7901 is a high-performance Cat7 S/FTP networking cable designed for reliable data transmission at speeds up to 10,000 Mbit/s. This 1-meter black patch cable features a slimline design with a 4.5mm outer diameter, making it an excellent choice for high-density server racks and professional network environments where space management and airflow are critical. Built with full copper 30AWG wires and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it ensures optimal signal integrity and minimal electromagnetic interference.

Advantages

This cable offers superior performance through its S/FTP shielding, which effectively protects data against external interference. The slimline construction allows for a smaller bending radius and improved cable management compared to standard patch cords, facilitating better airflow within network cabinets. Furthermore, the use of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of fire or short circuits. Each cable is 100% tested to meet international standards, ensuring consistent reliability for demanding 10 Gigabit Ethernet applications.

Suitable for

• Connecting computers, switches, and routers in professional network setups
• High-density server racks and data centers
• Environments requiring Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W
• Home or office networks demanding high-speed 10Gbps connectivity

When it may not be suitable

Due to the 30AWG wire gauge, this cable may experience higher signal attenuation at very long distances or extremely high frequencies compared to thicker 22-28AWG cables. It is primarily intended for short-range patch connections rather than long-distance permanent building installations.

How to use

To use the ACT DF7901, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a click. The snagless design ensures that the locking tab is protected during installation and removal. Ensure the cable is routed neatly through cable management systems to maintain the benefits of the slimline design and to prevent excessive tension on the connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific connection to ensure 1 meter is sufficient
• Check if your network hardware supports Cat7 or 10Gbps speeds to fully utilize the cable's capabilities
• Ensure the slimline 30AWG specification meets your specific attenuation requirements for your network infrastructure

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in server racks, use this cable in combination with cable management organizers to maintain proper airflow and prevent sharp bends that could affect signal quality.
