ACT Brown 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Brown 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter patch cable is a slimline Ethernet cable designed for data center and network cabinet installations. With a 3.8 mm diameter it is considerably thinner than regular CAT6A patch cords, improving cable routing and airflow in server racks. The cable features U/FTP shielding to reduce interference and gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable connections. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emission in case of fire.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter lowers the bending radius and saves space compared with standard 5.9 mm CAT6A cords, enabling denser installations and better ventilation. U/FTP shielding minimizes crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference, supporting high-speed data transmission. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors provide stable contact and corrosion resistance. The LSZH outer jacket is suitable for environments where low smoke and toxicity are required.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and horizontal cabling
• Network cabinets and densely packed server racks
• High-speed Ethernet links up to CAT6A performance
• Installations requiring low-smoke, low-toxicity cable jackets

Key specifications

• Length: 3 m
• Cable type: U/FTP CAT6A, slimline (3.8 mm diameter)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Brown

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 plug to the network port on the switch, patch panel, or device and the other to the corresponding port. Route the slimline cable through cable management channels or horizontal managers, observing bend-radius guidelines. If using in PoE deployments, follow the recommended bundling limits to control temperature rise.

Recommendations

ISO/IEC and TIA standards generally specify 22–26 AWG patch cords; slimline cables may use thinner conductors (for example 32 AWG) which increase attenuation at higher frequencies. ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 cables in PoE applications to limit temperature increase. ANSI TSB-184-A recommends that temperature rise for the center cable in a bundle remain below 15 °C above ambient.
