ACT Pink 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Pink 3 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim, low-smoke-zero-halogen Ethernet lead designed for high-density datacenter and network cabinet use. With a 3 m length, pink jacket and gold-plated contacts, this CAT6 U/UTP cable supports high-speed data transfer while minimising occupied space and preserving airflow in racks. The slimline diameter reduces cable bulk compared to standard CAT6 patch cords and the LSZH outer material reduces harmful smoke and corrosive gases in the event of a fire.

Advantages

The slimline construction lowers the cable diameter and bending radius to improve routing in tight spaces and to increase airflow inside server racks. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and removal, while gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and resistance to corrosion. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic fumes and smoke output, making the cable suitable for environments where low emission of hazardous gases is required. The 3 m length offers flexibility for patching between equipment within racks or cabinets.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter patching and top-of-rack connections
• Network cabinets and server racks where space and airflow are critical
• Office or technical rooms requiring low smoke, low halogen cabling
• Standard Ethernet applications up to CAT6 performance levels

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6 U/UTP
• Length: 3 m
• Connector type: RJ45 to RJ45, snagless
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Contact plating: gold-plated contacts
• Colour: pink
• Slimline diameter: reduced diameter for high-density routing (approximately 3.8 mm typical for slimline)
• Conductor gauge note: slimline construction uses thinner conductors which can increase attenuation at higher frequencies compared to standard 24 AWG cables

How to use

Route the ACT Pink 3 m CAT6 slimline patch cable between network ports or patch panels and switches, ensuring minimal sharp bends and avoiding tight kinks to preserve signal integrity. Insert the RJ45 connectors fully into the corresponding ports until the latch engages; use the snagless boot to protect the latch while pulling through cable management trays or panels. For PoE deployments follow recommended bundle limits and avoid exceeding the maximum allowed bundle size to prevent excessive temperature rise.

Recommendations

For PoE applications, limit bundled cables to a maximum of 24 when using power delivery to avoid significant temperature increases. Avoid sharp bends and excessive pulling tension during installation. Choose this slimline CAT6 cable for dense rack environments where improved airflow and low smoke emission are priorities.
