Networking cable ACT DA6901 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) 1 m RJ-45 to RJ-45 Black

ACT DA6901 is a Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable, 1 m long, with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and gold-plated contacts. Its reduced outer diameter improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while maintaining performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and enhanced protection against alien crosstalk.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm jacket and smaller bend radius allow neater cable routing and better ventilation in dense rack or cabinet environments. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable high-speed signal transmission. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas release in the event of fire or cable damage.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline Cat6a cable is not suitable where extra mechanical robustness is required, for example in exposed outdoor runs or industrial environments with heavy mechanical stress. In situations that demand thicker insulation or additional armoring, a standard-diameter or armored cable should be chosen.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ-45 angled ends to the corresponding ports on your network devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. The 90° angled up connectors are useful when routing cables upward or when space directly behind equipment is limited. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and tested after installation to verify link speed and integrity.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For optimal airflow and cable management in server racks, use these slimline Cat6a U/FTP cables for short patch runs between equipment and patch panels, and test each link after installation to confirm 10Gb performance.
