ACT DF7910 Cat7 S/FTP Networking Cable, 10 m, RJ-45, Black

The ACT DF7910 is a high-performance 10-meter Cat7 S/FTP networking cable engineered to provide reliable data transmission at speeds reaching 10,000 Mbit/s. This slimline patch cable features a 4.5mm outer diameter, making it an efficient choice for high-density network environments where space management and airflow are critical. Equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and advanced S/FTP shielding, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference to ensure stable connectivity for demanding professional and home network applications.

Advantages

The primary benefit of this cable is its slimline design, which offers a smaller bending radius and reduced volume compared to standard patch cords, facilitating better airflow within server racks and network cabinets. 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. Furthermore, the 50µ gold-plated contacts and full copper 30AWG wiring ensure consistent signal integrity and durability, while the snagless connector design prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• High-speed 10 Gigabit Ethernet networks
• Data center server rack connectivity
• Professional office network installations
• Home network setups requiring high bandwidth
• Environments where cable management and airflow are priorities

When it may not be suitable

This cable uses 30AWG wiring, which may result in higher signal attenuation compared to thicker 22-28AWG cables, particularly over very long distances or at extremely high frequencies. It is primarily intended for patch cord applications rather than long-distance permanent building installations.

Key specifications

• Length: 10 meters
• Standard: Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 600 MHz
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Male to Male)
• Contact plating: 50µ Gold
• Wire gauge: 30AWG (Full copper)
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W
• Outer diameter: 4.5mm

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding network port on your device, such as a switch, router, or network interface card, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab catching on other cables. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance. When routing the cable through a server rack, utilize cable management accessories to keep the path organized and maintain proper airflow.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 10-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection path.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat7 or backward-compatible standards.
• Check if your power requirements for PoE devices do not exceed 30W.
• Confirm that the slimline 30AWG specification meets your specific attenuation requirements for your network environment.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, avoid placing the cable near high-voltage power lines to prevent potential electromagnetic interference. Regularly inspect the cable for physical damage and ensure that connections are firmly seated in their respective ports to maintain a stable 10Gbit link.
