ACT White 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT White 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter Ethernet cable designed for datacenter and network cabinet use. With a 3.8 mm diameter and LSZH jacket, it supports high-speed data transmission while reducing occupied space and improving airflow in server racks compared with standard 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords. The cable uses U/UTP construction and is terminated with gold-plated RJ45 contacts for reliable connections.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm diameter lowers the bending radius and allows denser cable routing in constrained spaces. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire and the snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latch during installation. Gold-plated contacts improve contact reliability. The cable is compatible with 28 AWG conductors, which can increase attenuation at higher frequencies but enables the reduced diameter.

Suitable for

• Datacenter patching in racks and network cabinets
• Tight cable runs and high-density patch panels
• Short-distance horizontal or equipment interconnects (1 m)
• Environments requiring LSZH jacket material

Key specifications

• Conductor gauge: can use 28 AWG (note: higher attenuation vs 22–26 AWG)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: LSZH
• Colour: White

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding Ethernet ports on patch panels, switches, or network devices. Route the cable following rack and cabinet guidelines, keeping bend radii appropriate for the slimline cable. For PoE deployments, observe bundle size limits and monitor temperatures as described below. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks to secure the connection.

Recommendations

For PoE applications, ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 slimline cables to avoid excessive temperature rise. The ANSI TSB-184-A guideline limits temperature increase to less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable in a bundle; using the recommended bundle size helps keep temperature within this limit. Be aware that 28 AWG conductors increase attenuation, particularly at higher frequencies, so use these cables primarily for short interconnects such as 1 m links inside racks.
