ACT FB8130 Cat8 U/FTP Networking Cable, 0.15 m, RJ-45, Black

The ACT FB8130 is a high-performance Cat8 U/FTP networking cable engineered for demanding data environments. Measuring 0.15 meters in length, this slimline patch cable is specifically designed to facilitate high-speed connectivity while optimizing space within server racks and network cabinets. By utilizing a compact 5mm outer diameter, it enhances airflow, making it an essential component for professional datacenter infrastructure.

Advantages

This cable offers exceptional signal integrity through its full copper 30AWG construction and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts, supporting bandwidths up to 2000MHz and speeds of 40Gbit. The inclusion of a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket provides a critical safety feature by minimizing toxic gas emissions in the event of fire or short circuits. Furthermore, the snagless connector design ensures long-term durability and ease of installation, while the reduced bending radius allows for cleaner cable management in dense networking setups.

Suitable for

• High-speed datacenter networking
• Connecting switches to network-attached storage (NAS)
• Optimizing airflow in crowded server racks
• Professional enterprise network installations

When it may not be suitable

Due to its short 0.15-meter length, this cable is not intended for long-distance connections between rooms or across office spaces. Additionally, while it utilizes 30AWG wiring, users requiring extremely long cable runs should be aware that higher attenuation may occur at high frequencies compared to thicker standard patch cords.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.15 meters
• Standard: Cat8 U/FTP
• Bandwidth: Up to 2000MHz (40Gbit)
• Connectors: RJ-45 Straight Male
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG full copper
• Outer diameter: 5mm
• Connector plating: 50µ gold-plated

How to use

To use the ACT FB8130, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your networking device until you hear a click. Ensure the cable is routed through cable management channels to maintain the integrity of the connection and to keep the server rack organized. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab breaking.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length, as this cable is limited to 0.15 meters.
• Ensure your networking hardware supports Cat8 standards to achieve maximum performance.
• Confirm that the RJ-45 interface is compatible with your specific equipment.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance in a datacenter, use these cables in high-density environments where airflow management is a priority. Always ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum radius to maintain signal quality.
