ACT Yellow 0.15 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

ACT Yellow 0.15m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 is a slimline CAT6 patch cord with a 0.15 m length, LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The cable uses U/UTP construction (unshielded pairs, overall unshielded) and a reduced diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with standard CAT6 patch cords, which helps improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets while keeping a compact profile for dense cabling runs.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and allows a smaller bending radius, improving rack airflow and space utilization. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the clip during installation and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable conductivity. The LSZH jacket minimizes hazardous smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. Although 28 AWG conductors increase attenuation at higher frequencies compared with 22–26 AWG, the cable meets practical requirements for short patch connections in data centers and networking closets.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each RJ45 end to the corresponding RJ45 ports on devices such as switches, patch panels or servers. Route the slimline cable through cable management channels or along rack rails, maintaining a gentle bend and avoiding sharp kinks. For best performance in PoE applications, follow recommended bundling limits and monitor temperatures in dense installations.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet deployments, ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 slimline CAT6 cables to limit temperature rise; the ANSI TSB-184-A guideline recommends keeping the center cable temperature increase below 15°C above ambient.
