ACT DA5902 networking cable Cat6a U/FTP (STP) 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, black

ACT DA5902 is a 2 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and a black LSZH jacket. Its reduced outer diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) and smaller bend radius are designed to improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets while supporting high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit networks. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts to maintain signal integrity and reduce crosstalk.

Advantages

The slimline construction reduces diameter compared with standard Cat6A cords, allowing denser cable routing and better ventilation in racks. Two 90° down-angled RJ45 connectors enable reliable connections where vertical clearance is limited without compromising the cable bend radius. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of releasing high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire. Full copper conductors and gold‑plated contacts ensure consistent electrical performance and compliance with international standards.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is not ideal if you require physical robustness for frequent handling, extreme mechanical stress, or outdoor/direct burial use. If straight connectors or a different angled orientation are required for your installation, choose one of the other available connector configurations.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the ACT DA5902 patch cable through the rack or cabinet keeping bend radii gentle around equipment edges. Plug the 90° down-angled RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or devices, ensuring a secure click on both ends. The slim jacket helps organize cables tightly while maintaining airflow; avoid sharp bends or repeated flexing near the connector boots to preserve performance.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a U/FTP cable for high-density rack installations and short patch runs to improve cabinet airflow and maintain 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance; avoid excessive bending near connectors and choose the correct connector orientation for tight spaces.
