ACT White 0.5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT White 0.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts. The slimline design (approximately 3.8 mm diameter) reduces bending radius and improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets compared with standard CAT6 patch cords. The cable is intended for structured cabling and short patch connections in data center and networking environments.

Advantages

The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and emissions in case of fire, while the U/UTP construction minimises crosstalk without additional shielding. The snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latches during installation. The slimline CAT6 cable occupies less space and supports neater cable management and better ventilation inside server racks.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and server cabinet connections
• Workspace and network equipment interconnects where space is limited
• Short-reach Ethernet links up to CAT6 performance requirements

How to use

Plug RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels, switches or network devices until the latch clicks. Route the slimline cable along cable management channels or through rack organisers to maintain airflow. For best signal quality, avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius and minimise excessive tension while installing.

Recommendations

Follow standards guidance: while ISO/IEC and TIA recommend 22–26 AWG patch cords, this slimline cable uses a finer conductor and may have higher attenuation at higher frequencies. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled PoE cable groups to a maximum of 24 cables to avoid excessive temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A advises the centre cable temperature increase remain below 15 °C above ambient.
