ACT Brown 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Brown 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter (3.8 mm) CAT6 patch cord designed for datacenter and network cabinet use. The cable uses U/UTP construction and LSZH jacket material for reduced smoke and halogen-free characteristics. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide reliable connections for high-speed data transmission while the slimline profile improves airflow and routing in densely packed racks.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk compared with regular CAT6 patch cords, lowering the bending radius and enabling improved airflow within server racks and network cabinets. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation. LSZH jacket material reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire, and gold-plated contacts ensure stable electrical contact and corrosion resistance. The cable supports high-speed CAT6 performance suitable for typical datacenter deployments.

Suitable for

• Patch connections between switches, patch panels and servers in datacenters
• Tight routing paths and dense cabling environments where space and airflow are critical
• Indoor networking installations requiring LSZH (low smoke, zero halogen) materials

How to use

Terminate the cable by inserting the RJ45 plug into the device or patch panel port until the latch clicks. Route the slimline cable through the rack or cabinet cable paths, keeping bend radii within recommended limits for CAT6. For PoE deployments, follow bundle size guidance to avoid overheating: limit bundled cables to recommended amounts and avoid tightly packed, poorly ventilated bundles.

Recommendations

Although industry standards commonly specify 22–26 AWG for patch cords, this slimline product uses a reduced conductor profile consistent with slim 28 AWG constructions, which increases attenuation at higher frequencies. ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 cables for PoE applications to keep temperature rise of center cables within safe limits (ANSI TSB-184-A limits temperature increase to less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable).
