Netwerkkabel ACT DA5905 Cat6a U/FTP (STP) RJ-45 naar RJ-45 5 m zwart

ACT DA5905 is a 5 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline patch cable with RJ-45 connectors on both ends and 50 µin gold-plated contacts. The cable is designed for 10 Gigabit Ethernet and reduced crosstalk in structured cabling installations. Its 3.8 mm outer diameter and smaller bend radius improve airflow and allow neater routing in server racks, network cabinets and behind equipment. The jacket is LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) to reduce the release of toxic gases in case of fire or damage.

Advantages

The slimline construction delivers a significantly smaller diameter and tighter bend radius than standard Cat6a patch cords, enabling denser cable runs and better cabinet airflow. U/FTP shielding and full copper 32 AWG conductors provide improved performance for high-speed 10 Gigabit links and reduced interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure reliable connections and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline Cat6a cable is optimized for space-constrained environments; it may be less suitable where maximum mechanical robustness is required, for example in high-abrasion or heavy-pull installations. Also, if specific connector orientations other than 90° angled down are needed, choose a variant with the required plug angles.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, observing the recommended bend radius and avoiding sharp edges. Plug each RJ‑45 angled connector into the appropriate port on switches, patch panels or devices until the latch clicks. For best performance, avoid running the cable parallel to power cables and ensure connectors are fully seated. Verify link speed and stability after installation.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use the slimline Cat6a patch cable for high-density rack installations and short runs between switches and patch panels to preserve airflow and maintain 10 Gigabit performance; select a different plug orientation or a standard-diameter cable if mechanical protection or alternate connector angles are needed.
