ACT Pink 1 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Pink 1 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter patch cable RJ45 is a slimline, 1 m network cable designed for high-speed data transfer in datacenter and network cabinet environments. Constructed with U/FTP shielding and LSZH jacket material, it offers reduced smoke emissions for indoor installations and features snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable connections. The slim 3.8 mm diameter improves rack airflow compared with regular 5.9 mm CAT6A patch cords and has a smaller bending radius suitable for dense cabling setups.

Advantages

The slim 32 AWG construction reduces cable diameter and supports tighter cable management and improved airflow in server racks. U/FTP shielding helps limit crosstalk, while LSZH material minimizes smoke in the event of fire. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure consistent mating and corrosion resistance. The 1 m length and pink colour aid identification and short-run datacenter connections.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in datacenters and network cabinets
• High-density cabling deployments where improved airflow is required
• Indoor installations requiring low-smoke (LSZH) jackets
• Environments needing shielded U/FTP CAT6A performance

Key specifications

• Product: ACT Pink 1 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter patch cable RJ45 (MPN: DC7401, EAN: 8716065510041)
• Cable length: 1 m
• Cable diameter: slimline approx. 3.8 mm (vs regular 5.9 mm)
• Conductor gauge: 32 AWG (slimline construction)
• Shielding: U/FTP
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network port on the switch, patch panel or device and the other RJ45 connector to the corresponding port. Use the 1 m length for short interconnects within racks or between adjacent equipment. Route the cable following rack and cabinet cable management practices to maintain bend radius and prevent unnecessary stress on the connectors. Avoid sharp bends and pinching to preserve shielding and signal integrity.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 cables to control temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends the center cable temperature increase remain under 15 °C above ambient. Be aware that 32 AWG slimline cables have higher attenuation than 22–26 AWG cables, especially at higher frequencies, so verify reach and link budget for demanding applications.
