Networking cable ACT DD7952 Cat6a U/UTP Black 0.25 m with RJ-45 connectors, gold-plated contacts

ACT DD7952 is a 0.25 m Cat6a U/UTP slimline patch cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in dense rack and cabinet environments. With a reduced outer diameter of 3.6 mm and a smaller bend radius than standard Cat6a cords, it improves airflow and saves space without sacrificing performance. The cable features a 90° angled down RJ45 connector at one end and a 90° angled up RJ45 connector at the other end, 28 AWG full copper conductors and 50 µin gold-plated contacts, and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH) jacket for reduced toxic gas emission in case of fire. The cable meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard and is 100% tested.

Advantages

The slimline 3.6 mm diameter and reduced bend radius allow denser cable routing and improved airflow in server racks and network cabinets. Angled RJ45 connectors enable neat, space-saving terminations behind equipment or in tight cabinet spaces. Full copper 28 AWG conductors with 50 µin gold plating on the contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire or overheating.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m cable is intended for short interconnections and is not suitable for long-distance runs. Environments that require ruggedized or outdoor-rated cabling, or where higher PoE power than specified is needed, may require a different cable type.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each RJ45 angled end to the corresponding ports on switches, patch panels, routers or wall outlets. The angled connectors are oriented to reduce cable stress in confined spaces; ensure the down- and up- orientations match your rack or device layout. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and route cables to maintain airflow in cabinets. For best signal quality, use this cable for short patching runs as intended.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the slimline ACT DD7952 Cat6a U/UTP patch cable for short, high-density patching in racks and cabinets to preserve airflow and reduce cable congestion; match connector orientations to device ports and avoid excessive bending beyond the cable's bend radius.
