ACT Pink 10 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Pink 10m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A snagless patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a slimline data center cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and 32 AWG conductors in a reduced 3.8 mm diameter to provide space-saving routing and improved airflow inside server racks and network cabinets. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions for safer indoor use. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connectivity for typical data-center applications.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter offers a smaller bending radius and better rack airflow compared with regular CAT6A patch cords, while snagless RJ45 boots reduce connector damage during installation. U/FTP shielding improves protection against crosstalk and external interference, and the LSZH jacket lowers smoke emission in case of fire. Note that the slim design uses 32 AWG conductors, which increases attenuation at higher frequencies versus 22–26 AWG cables described in ISO/IEC and TIA standards.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the RJ45 plugs to the corresponding Ethernet ports of switches, servers, patch panels or network devices. Avoid tight bends below the cable's minimum bend radius and route the cable to maintain airflow in racks. Verify link speed and connectivity after installation. For PoE applications, follow bundle size guidance to control temperature rise.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 slimline cables to limit temperature increase; ANSI TSB-184-A specifies that the center cable temperature rise should remain under 15 °C above ambient. Consider usage distances and potential higher attenuation of 32 AWG at high frequencies when planning links.
