Network patch cable ACT DA4905 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) RJ-45 to RJ-45 Black 5 m

ACT DA4905 is a 5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) patch cable with a slimline LSZH jacket and RJ‑45 connectors. The cable has a straight RJ‑45 on one end and a 90° angled up RJ‑45 on the other, and is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet with reduced crosstalk and reliable gold‑plated contacts. Its smaller outer diameter helps maintain airflow in server racks and network cabinets while meeting international standards for performance and safety.

Advantages

The slimline design (3.8 mm outer diameter) and reduced bend radius allow denser cable routing and improved airflow compared with standard Cat6a patch cords. Full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated RJ‑45 contacts ensure stable high‑speed connections. The LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, and the cable is 100% tested for compliance with international standards.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline Cat6a U/FTP cable may not be ideal where extreme mechanical strain is expected, as the thinner jacket and smaller diameter provide less physical protection than thicker patch cords. It also may not be necessary for networks that do not require 10 Gigabit performance or where standard cable diameter and flexibility are preferred.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the straight RJ‑45 end and the 90° angled up RJ‑45 end to the appropriate ports on switches, patch panels or equipment. Route the slimline cable through cable channels or behind equipment to save space and maintain rack airflow, avoiding sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius. Ensure connectors are fully seated to secure the electrical and mechanical connection.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For optimal performance in high‑density racks, route slimline cables to avoid tight kinks and group them to preserve airflow; use the angled connector where rear clearance is limited to reduce strain on ports.
