ACT Black 2 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

Patch Cable ACT Black 2 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 is a slimline CAT6 patch cord designed for datacenter use. With a reduced diameter of 3.8 mm compared to standard 5.9 mm cables, this U/UTP cable improves rack airflow and reduces required bending radius. The cable uses LSZH jacket material and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, providing reliable connectivity while limiting smoke emission in case of fire. NOTE: 28 AWG construction increases attenuation at higher frequencies; ACT recommends adjusting permanent link length accordingly and following bundle-size guidelines for PoE installations.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter lowers cable bulk in high-density environments and promotes better airflow inside cabinets. U/UTP construction reduces external interference while LSZH jacket minimizes smoke and toxic fume production. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure stable contact and ease of installation. The 2 m length and black colour suit common patching requirements in racks and patch panels.

Suitable for

• Datacenter and server-rack patching
• High-density network cabinets where reduced diameter is required
• Short horizontal or equipment interconnects up to 2 m
• Networks requiring LSZH jackets for low smoke emission

How to use

Insert RJ45 plugs into corresponding ports on switches, patch panels or devices until the latch clicks. Route the slimline CAT6 cable through cable management channels or trays, avoiding sharp bends below the recommended bending radius. For reliable high-frequency performance, keep permanent link length within ACT's recommendations for 28 AWG patch cords and maintain appropriate separation from strong electrical noise sources.

Recommendations

Limit bundled cables in Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) installations to a maximum of 24 cables to reduce temperature rise in the bundle; follow ANSI TSB-184-A guidance and consider shorter permanent link lengths to compensate for higher attenuation of 28 AWG construction.
