Network patch cable ACT DD7905 Cat6a U/UTP 5 m Black RJ-45

ACT DD7905 is a 5 m Cat6a U/UTP slimline patch cable in black, featuring 90° angled down to 90° angled up RJ45 connectors. Its reduced outer diameter improves cable routing and airflow in server racks and network cabinets while supporting Cat6a performance for 10GBASE‑T links and short-run connections between switches, routers, patch panels and endpoints. The jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to limit hazardous smoke and gases in case of fire or cable damage.

Advantages

The slimline 3.6 mm outer diameter and smaller bend radius allow denser cable management without compromising signal integrity. Full copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated RJ45 contacts provide reliable connectivity and consistent Cat6a performance. The angled-to-angled connector configuration saves space behind equipment and in cabinets. LSZH jacketing reduces the risk of toxic smoke in enclosed environments.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is designed for short to medium patching runs and tight routing; it may be less suitable where thicker, more rugged cables are required for repeated heavy mechanical stress or long outdoor runs. For installations that need reinforced jackets or extreme environmental protection, choose a cable specifically rated for those conditions.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 angled plug to the patch panel, switch or router port and the other angled plug to the destination device. The angled connectors help route the cable neatly in confined spaces; avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bend radius and secure cables to prevent strain on the connectors. Use appropriate cable management in racks and cabinets to maintain airflow and prevent signal degradation.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For optimal performance, use the ACT DD7905 for short patch runs within racks or cabinets, maintain gentle bends consistent with the slimline bend radius, and combine with proper rack airflow planning to take advantage of the reduced cable diameter.
