ACT Red 1.5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Red 1.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 is a slimline Cat6A patch cord with a 1.5 m length, LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors. The cable uses U/FTP construction and 32 AWG conductors for a reduced outer diameter (approximately 3.8 mm), improved bend radius and better airflow in densely populated data cabinets compared with standard 24 AWG Cat6A patch cords.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter lowers bundle volume and allows improved airflow in racks and cabinets. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable contact. U/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and external interference. Using 32 AWG conductors makes the cable thinner and more flexible while keeping Cat6A performance over shorter patch lengths.

Key specifications

How to use

Install the patch cable between RJ45 ports on network switches, patch panels and servers. Route the cable maintaining gentle bends and avoid sharp kinks to preserve the small bend radius advantage. For compliance with ISO/IEC and TIA guidance, use this slimline 32 AWG cable for shorter permanent link lengths than standard 24 AWG patch cords to accommodate its higher attenuation at higher frequencies.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 cables to avoid excessive temperature rise; this helps keep the center cable temperature increase below the 15 °C limit described in ANSI TSB-184-A. Consider shorter link lengths when designing installations to compensate for the higher attenuation of 32 AWG conductors.
