ACT Green 0.5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Green 0.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 (DC9700, EAN 8716065404586) is a slimline CAT6 patch cord with a 0.5 metre length, LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors. The cable uses U/UTP construction and a reduced conductor diameter compared with standard CAT6 cords, providing a smaller overall cable diameter suitable for high-density data centre and cabinet installations.

Advantages

The slimline design (approx. 3.8 mm diameter) reduces cable bulk and improves airflow inside network cabinets compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the connectors during installation. Gold-plated contacts maintain reliable signal transfer. The LSZH jacket lowers smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Note that the thinner 28 AWG conductors result in higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with thicker conductors.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to your switch, patch panel or network device and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the 0.5 m ACT Green CAT6 cable through the cabinet or patching area avoiding tight bends and sharp edges. Use the snagless boots to reduce the risk of latch damage when inserting or removing the cable. For optimal performance, keep link lengths short and follow standard cabling practices.

Recommendations

The slimmer 28 AWG construction increases attenuation at higher frequencies; ACT recommends shorter permanent link lengths compared with 24 AWG patch cords and limiting PoE bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to control temperature rise in PoE deployments.
