ACT DF7930 Cat7 S/FTP Network Cable, RJ-45, 0.15 m, Black

The ACT DF7930 Cat7 S/FTP network cable is a high-performance solution engineered for demanding professional networking environments. Measuring 0.15 meters in length, this slimline patch cable is designed to provide reliable, high-speed data transmission of up to 10,000 Mbit/s. With its double-shielded construction and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it effectively minimizes electromagnetic interference, ensuring signal integrity for critical network infrastructure.

Advantages

This cable features a slimline design with an outer diameter of only 4.5mm, which significantly improves cable management and promotes better airflow within dense server racks and network cabinets. The use of full copper 30AWG conductors combined with 50µ gold-plated contacts guarantees excellent conductivity and durability. Furthermore, the Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket enhances safety by reducing the emission of toxic gases in the event of a fire or short circuit, making it a responsible choice for modern data centers.

Suitable for

• High-speed local area network connections
• Server rack and network cabinet patching
• Environments requiring high-density cabling
• Applications supporting Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30W

When it may not be suitable

Due to its short 0.15-meter length, this cable is not suitable for connecting devices located at a distance from one another. Additionally, while it utilizes 30AWG wiring, users should be aware that this may result in higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker standard patch cords, which might be a consideration for specific long-run or extreme-performance requirements.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 meters
• Standard: Cat7 S/FTP (S-STP)
• Data transfer rate: Up to 10,000 Mbit/s
• Bandwidth: 600 MHz
• Connectors: RJ-45 male to RJ-45 male
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Cable diameter: 4.5 mm
• Power over Ethernet support: Up to 30W

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking hardware, such as a switch, router, or patch panel, until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab breaking. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance and signal quality.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that the 0.15-meter length is sufficient for your specific connection needs.
• Ensure your network equipment supports Cat7 or backward-compatible standards.
• Confirm that the slimline 30AWG cable meets your specific attenuation requirements for your network setup.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance in server racks, utilize the slimline profile to organize cables neatly, which helps maintain consistent airflow and prevents overheating of your networking equipment.
