ACT White 5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT White 5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter (3.8 mm) CAT6 patch cord designed for datacenter and network cabinet use. Its reduced diameter and lower bending radius compared with standard CAT6 patch cords improve rack airflow and allow neater cable routing in tight spaces. The cable features snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, and is intended for high-speed data transmission between network devices.

Advantages

The slimline U/UTP CAT6 construction minimizes bulk in cable bundles and helps maintain better airflow in server racks. LSZH jacketing reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission. The 5 m length and white colour suit typical datacenter and patch-panel connections.

Suitable for

• Patching between switches, servers and patch panels in datacenters
• Tight cable management runs and crowded network cabinets
• Applications requiring LSZH jacket material

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the slimline cable through the rack or cabinet, maintaining recommended bend radius and avoiding sharp kinks. For best results, separate power and data cables where possible and secure the cable to cable-management bars or ties to preserve airflow and organization.

Recommendations

ACT recommends using up to 24 slimline CAT6 cables in a bundled PoE application to limit temperature increase. Using 28 AWG conductors is possible but increases attenuation, especially at higher frequencies; observe link performance limits accordingly.
