ACT networking cable DA6951 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black 1.5 m with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

ACT DA6951 is a Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable in black with a length of 1.5 m and RJ‑45 to RJ‑45 connectors. Its reduced outer diameter improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while maintaining the shielding and performance needed for high-speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit networks. Full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µm gold‑plated RJ45 contacts provide reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, and the LSZH jacket limits toxic smoke if the cable is damaged by fire or overheating.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm jacket and smaller bend radius allow denser cable routing and better ventilation in cabinets compared with standard CAT6A patch cords. Shielded U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and electromagnetic interference for stable LAN and data centre connections. Gold‑plated contacts and full copper conductors support consistent signal quality and durability.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is optimized for space-constrained installations; in situations that require more ruggedized or thicker outdoor-rated cabling, a standard-diameter or weatherproof cable may be more appropriate. The angled-up to angled-up connector orientation is intended for specific port layouts and may not match every installation without checking connector directions.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug the angled RJ‑45 connector into the device or patch panel port that best matches the cable orientation. Route the slimline cable through the rack or cabinet to maintain the recommended bend radius and to optimize airflow. Ensure both ends are fully seated in the RJ‑45 ports; test the connection with network testing tools or link lights to confirm proper operation.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a U/FTP patch cable for dense rack or cabinet installations where preserving airflow and maintaining 10 Gigabit performance are priorities; avoid sharp bends and secure cables to prevent strain on the angled connectors.
