Network patch cable ACT DA4902 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) 2 m, RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts, black

ACT DA4902 is a Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline network patch cable, 2 m long, with one straight RJ‑45 connector and one 90° angled up RJ‑45 connector. The cable is designed for high‑speed Ethernet and 10 Gbps applications in office and data‑center environments. Its slim 3.8 mm outer jacket and reduced bend radius improve airflow and routing options in network cabinets and behind equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire or cable damage, and the cable uses full copper 32 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter and smaller bend radius allow neater cable management and better airflow in racks compared with standard Cat6a patch cords. Shielded U/FTP construction reduces crosstalk and external interference for reliable 10 Gbps performance. Gold‑plated contacts and full copper conductors ensure stable signal transmission, while the LSZH jacket lowers the risk of hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline Cat6a cable is not ideal when maximum mechanical robustness is required, for example in environments with heavy mechanical stress or frequent re‑routing where a thicker jacket may provide better protection. It is also unnecessary for networks that do not require Cat6a or 10 Gbps performance.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the straight RJ‑45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and route the 90° angled connector behind equipment or into tight spaces as needed. Avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable's bend radius despite the slim design; secure the cable with cable ties or routing guides to maintain airflow and prevent strain on connectors. The cable is ready for plug‑and‑play use with standard Ethernet ports.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the angled connector to route cables neatly behind rack equipment and install cables with gentle curves to preserve performance; choose thicker jackets if cables will be frequently moved or exposed to mechanical stress.
