ACT White 1 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT White 1 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a compact, low-diameter Ethernet patch cord designed for datacenter and network-cabinet use. Its slimline construction (approximately 3.8 mm diameter) reduces cable bulk and improves airflow in server racks compared with standard CAT6A patch cords. The cable is LSZH-rated for low smoke and toxic emission and features gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity.

Advantages

Slimline U/FTP CAT6A construction provides a smaller bending radius and reduced cable diameter to help optimize rack space and airflow. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation in dense environments. LSZH jacket material reduces smoke and hazardous gas production in the event of fire. Gold-plated contacts ensure a stable electrical connection and corrosion resistance.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port on the device and the other to the switch, patch panel, or network outlet. Ensure the cable is routed to avoid sharp bends and that the bending radius is respected to maintain signal integrity. The slimline cable can be bundled and routed through cable management systems to reduce clutter and maintain airflow in racks and cabinets.

Recommendations

Standards typically specify patch cord conductor sizes between 22 and 26 AWG; this slimline cable uses thinner conductors (up to 32 AWG), which increases attenuation at higher frequencies. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, ACT recommends limiting bundle size to a maximum of 24 cables to avoid excessive temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A limits the temperature increase of the center cable to less than 15 °C above ambient.
