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

ACT Brown 2 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter Ethernet patch cord designed for datacenter and network cabinet use. With a 3.8 mm diameter and LSZH jacket, the cable supports CAT6 performance while enabling improved airflow and easier cable routing in dense installations. The cable features gold-plated contacts and snagless boots on both RJ45 connectors and is suitable for high-speed data transfer in professional networking environments.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm diameter reduces bundle thickness and allows a smaller bending radius compared with regular CAT6 patch cords, improving airflow in server racks and making cable management simpler in tight spaces. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, and the snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector tab during installation and removal. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emission in case of fire, appropriate for datacenter and enclosed installations.

Suitable for

• Datacenter and network cabinet patching
• High-density rack and blade server connections
• Horizontal and patch-panel cabling in professional networks
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) materials

How to use

Route the ACT slimline CAT6 patch cable between patch panels, switches and servers as required, taking advantage of the smaller diameter to maintain neater bundles and tighter bends where necessary. Insert RJ45 connectors fully into ports until the latch clicks; when removing, press the snagless boot to avoid damaging the connector tab. Follow standard network installation practices to ensure correct terminations and avoid excessive pulling or twisting of the cable.

Recommendations

Use bundles of no more than 24 slimline cables for PoE applications to limit temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends the center cable temperature increase remain under 15 °C above ambient. While CAT standards commonly specify 22–26 AWG, these slimline cords use smaller gauge conductors which can increase attenuation at higher frequencies—verify channel loss for high-frequency or long runs when required.
