ACT Pink 0.15 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT DC7430 is a 0.15 m Cat6a U/FTP (STP) slimline networking cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a pink jacket. Its reduced diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with regular Cat6a patch cords allows for a smaller bending radius and improved airflow inside server racks and network cabinets while maintaining Cat6a performance for high-speed data transmission.

Advantages

Slimline Cat6a construction provides space savings and lower cable bulk without changing the U/FTP shielding that reduces crosstalk and interference. Gold-plated RJ-45 connectors improve contact reliability and corrosion resistance. The short 0.15 m length is practical for connections in confined spaces, such as between patch panels and switches or for short device interconnects.

Suitable for

• Short connections in data centers and network cabinets
• High-density patching between patch panels and switches
• PoE deployments with limited bundle sizes
• Equipment interconnects where space is restricted

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6a

• Manufacturer: ACT, MPN DC7430, EAN 8716065518788

How to use

Connect one gold-plated RJ-45 connector to the network device and the other to the switch, patch panel or outlet. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch engages. Use the 0.15 m cable for direct, short-distance links where slack management and airflow are priorities. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and do not apply excessive tensile force when routing the cable.

Recommendations

For PoE applications follow ACT guidance and limit bundled slimline Cat6a cables to a maximum of 24 in a bundle to control temperature rise; higher AWG values (slimline construction) increase attenuation at higher frequencies, so keep bundle sizes within recommended limits and observe the ANSI TSB-184-A guidance that limits temperature increase to less than 15 °C above ambient for the centre cable.
