ACT Blue 10 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Blue 10m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 (DC9610, EAN 8716065509588) is a slimline Category 6 patch cord with a 10 m length, snagless RJ45 connectors and LSZH jacket. The U/UTP construction (unshielded, foil-free) supports high-speed data transmission in datacenter and network cabinet environments while the reduced 3.8 mm diameter improves cable routing and airflow compared with standard 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords.

Advantages

The slimline design reduces bundle diameter and allows for a smaller bending radius, contributing to improved airflow in server racks and network cabinets. Gold-plated contacts on the RJ45 connectors provide reliable contact and corrosion resistance. The LSZH outer jacket limits smoke emission in case of fire, making the cable suitable for indoor installations where low-smoke materials are required. While CAT6 performance is maintained, the 28 AWG conductor used in slimline cords can cause higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with thicker 22–26 AWG cords.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the ACT Blue 10 m CAT6 patch cable between RJ45 ports on patch panels, switches and servers, avoiding sharp bends and tight kinks. Insert RJ45 connectors fully until the latch clicks. For best performance, maintain recommended bend radius and avoid routing alongside high-power electrical cables. When used in PoE deployments, follow the advised bundle limits to control temperature rise.

Recommendations

For PoE applications ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 slimline cables to limit the temperature increase; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends that the center cable temperature rise remain below 15 °C above ambient. Consider using thicker-gauge patch cords if very long runs or maximum signal margin at higher frequencies are critical.
