ACT Pink 1.5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Pink 1.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slimline datacenter cable designed for structured network cabling. With a reduced diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) compared with standard CAT6 patch cords, it improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while providing reliable connectivity for copper Ethernet links. The LSZH jacket limits smoke and corrosive gas emissions in case of fire, and the gold-plated contacts support consistent signal transmission.

Advantages

The slim 1.5 m CAT6 U/UTP cable occupies less space and allows a smaller bending radius than regular patchcords, contributing to better rack airflow and neater cable management. Snagless RJ45 connectors reduce the risk of plug tab damage during installation or removal. Using 28 AWG conductors makes a thinner cable possible while maintaining CAT6 performance; however, it results in higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with thicker 22–26 AWG wires. The LSZH jacket improves safety in enclosed environments.

Suitable for

• Datacenter and server-rack patching where space and airflow are important
• Network cabinets and high-density patch panels
• Short-range Ethernet links (1.5 m) between switches, patch panels and servers
• Installations requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling (LSZH)

Key specifications

• Product: ACT Pink LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable, snagless RJ45
• Length: 1.5 m
• Conductor gauge: slimline (commonly 28 AWG in similar slim U/UTP cables)
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline vs ~5.9 mm for standard CAT6)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Colour: Pink
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Plug one snagless RJ45 connector into the network port of a switch, patch panel or server and the other end into the corresponding port. Route the 1.5 m cable through the rack or cabinet taking advantage of its smaller diameter to reduce bend radius and improve airflow. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling force on the connectors. Ensure both ends are fully inserted until the connector latch engages for dependable contact.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to avoid excessive temperature rise. Note that thinner 28 AWG conductors increase attenuation at higher frequencies; for long runs or environments demanding minimum attenuation, consider using standard 22–26 AWG patch cords instead.
