ACT White 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT White 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is designed for high-speed data transmission in dense rack and cabinet environments. Its slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and improves airflow compared with regular CAT6A patch cords, while the LSZH jacket lowers smoke emission in case of fire. Gold-plated contacts and U/FTP shielding support reliable connections in datacenter installations.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm construction offers a smaller bending radius and reduced cable congestion in server racks and network cabinets. U/FTP shielding improves resistance to crosstalk and external interference. The snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation, and the gold-plated contacts provide corrosion resistance for consistent signal transfer. The LSZH jacket minimises smoke and toxic gas emission in the event of a fire.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter patching and top-of-rack connections
• Network cabinets and server racks with limited space
• Short to medium links between switches, servers and patch panels (3 m)
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free materials

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable following the rack or cabinet cable management paths to maintain airflow; avoid tight kinks and excessive bending beyond the recommended radius for CAT6A cables. For PoE deployments, follow specified bundle size limits to control temperature rise.

Recommendations

Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards typically specify patch cords between 22 and 26 AWG, this slimline design uses thinner conductors (up to 32 AWG), which increases attenuation at higher frequencies. ACT recommends limiting PoE cable bundles to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to keep the temperature increase for center cables within the ANSI TSB-184-A limit (less than 15 °C above ambient).
