ACT DF7903 Cat7 S/FTP Network Cable, 3m, RJ-45, Black

The ACT DF7903 Cat7 S/FTP network cable is a high-performance connectivity solution designed for demanding professional environments. With a length of 3 meters, this cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10,000 Mbit/s, making it suitable for high-speed networking applications. The cable features advanced S/FTP shielding to minimize electromagnetic interference and ensure signal integrity, while the slimline design and LSZH jacket provide both flexibility and safety.

Advantages

This network cable offers superior durability and performance through its high-quality construction, including full copper 30AWG wires and 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts. The slimline design, with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, allows for better cable management and improved airflow within server racks and 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 a fire or short circuit. The snagless design of the connectors ensures easy installation and prevents damage to the locking tabs during frequent plugging and unplugging.

Suitable for

• High-speed data centers and server rooms
• Professional office network installations
• Connecting switches, routers, and patch panels
• Environments requiring high-density cabling
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses 30 AWG wiring, which may result in higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker standard patch cords. It is primarily optimized for patch panel and rack-to-device connections rather than long-distance permanent installations.

How to use

To use the ACT DF7903, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a click. Ensure that the cable is routed neatly through cable management systems to maintain the integrity of the connection. Because of its slim profile, it is particularly effective for high-density setups where space is limited.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific setup to avoid excess slack.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat7 or backward-compatible standards.
• Check if the 30 AWG wire gauge meets your specific performance requirements for high-frequency applications.
• Confirm that the RJ-45 interface is compatible with your hardware ports.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance, avoid bending the cable beyond its minimum radius and keep it away from high-voltage power lines to prevent potential interference. Regularly inspect the connectors for dust or debris to maintain a stable connection.
