Network cable ACT DA5901 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) Black 1 m RJ-45 to RJ-45

ACT DA5901 is a 1 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends. The cable has a reduced outer diameter of 3.8 mm compared with standard Cat6a patch cords, which helps improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets. The jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) and the cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable signal transfer and compliance with international standards.

Advantages

The slimline design provides a smaller bend radius and takes up less space behind equipment and inside cabinets without compromising performance. Dual shielding (U/FTP) and quality copper conductors with gold-plated contacts reduce the impact of electromagnetic interference and ensure stable high-speed Ethernet connections. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline 3.8 mm cable is optimized for tight spaces and airflow, but it may be less robust than thicker, standard-diameter cables when exposed to frequent mechanical stress, heavy pulling or very harsh installation environments. For outdoor, direct-burial, or extremely rugged industrial applications, a specially rated cable would be more appropriate.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug each RJ-45 connector into the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels, routers or workstations until the latch clicks. The 90° angled down connectors are intended for installations where space behind ports is limited; orient the cable so the angled plugs route neatly along the device or cabinet. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bend radius and do not subject the cable to excessive pulling forces during installation.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use ACT DA5901 for short patch runs in racks and cabinets where space and airflow are priorities; ensure connectors are aligned to avoid strain and follow standard cable management practices to preserve performance over time.
