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

The ACT White 1.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts is a slimline data center cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections. With a reduced diameter compared to regular CAT6A patch cords, it improves cable routing and airflow in server racks and network cabinets while meeting CAT6A U/FTP construction requirements and using low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket material suitable for sensitive environments.

Advantages

This slimline U/FTP CAT6A cable has a smaller diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) than standard CAT6A patch cords, which lowers the bending radius and allows denser routing and improved airflow in cabinets and racks. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Despite the slim construction, the cable supports high-speed data transmission appropriate for data center patching; note that its thinner conductors result in higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with thicker AWG cords.

Suitable for

• Data center patching and horizontal cabling in racks
• High-density network cabinets and server rooms where space and airflow matter
• Short to medium Ethernet links up to the patch-panel and switch locations (1.5 m length)

How to use

Connect one snagless RJ45 connector to the network switch or patch panel port and the other to the corresponding device or patch point. Route the slimline cable through cable managers or along rack guides, taking advantage of the smaller bending radius to achieve denser cable runs and improved airflow. Verify link status on connected equipment and ensure both ends are fully seated in the RJ45 ports.

Recommendations

Use slimline 32 AWG-style CAT6A cables only where space savings and airflow improvements are required; be aware that thinner conductors increase signal attenuation, especially at higher frequencies. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, keep bundles to a maximum of 24 cables to limit temperature rise—ANSI TSB-184-A recommends a maximum temperature increase of less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable in a bundle.
