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

The ACT Brown 10 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a thinner-diameter CAT6 patch cord designed for data center and network cabinet environments. With a 3.8 mm diameter and 10 m length, this U/UTP cable reduces bundle thickness and improves rack airflow while providing standard CAT6 performance. The cable uses 28 AWG conductors, which can increase attenuation at higher frequencies compared with 22–26 AWG cords. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire, and gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable connections.

Advantages

The slimline design (3.8 mm) decreases cable bulk and allows a smaller bending radius versus regular 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords, improving airflow in server racks and network cabinets. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the clip during routing. The U/UTP construction reduces external interference, and the LSZH jacket limits smoke and corrosive gases. Gold-plated contacts provide reliable contact performance and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and high-density rack installations
• Network cabinets where improved airflow is needed
• Horizontal and equipment patching over 10 m runs
• Environments requiring LSZH-rated cable jackets

How to use

Route the slimline CAT6 cable between switches, patch panels and servers as required, taking advantage of the reduced diameter for denser cable bundles and improved airflow. Insert RJ45 connectors into corresponding ports until the clip clicks; the snagless design protects the latch during installation. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and secure runs with appropriate cable management to maintain performance.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled group sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to prevent excessive temperature rise; the ANSI TSB-184-A guideline keeps temperature increase of the center cable below 15 °C above ambient. Consider the increased attenuation of 28 AWG conductors for long or high-frequency links and test link performance if operating near channel limits.
