ACT Yellow 1.5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 1.5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline datacenter cable designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in confined spaces. Its 3.8 mm diameter and U/FTP shielding reduce interference while improving airflow in server cabinets. The cable uses snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and LSZH jacket material for safer indoor installation.

Advantages

Slimline construction provides a smaller bending radius and lower diameter compared with standard CAT6A patch cords, enabling denser routing and better cabinet airflow. U/FTP shielding limits crosstalk and external interference. LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen release in case of fire. Accepting 32 AWG conductors allows a thinner cable profile suitable for tight bundle routing when shorter permanent link lengths are used.

Suitable for

• Data center patching where space and airflow are limited
• High-density network racks and cabinet front-to-back routing
• Indoor installations requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen materials
• Short permanent link applications where slim cables are preferred

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network switch or patch panel and the other end to the target device or port. Route the slimline cable along rack guides or cable managers to optimise airflow and avoid sharp bends. For optimal performance with 32 AWG constructions, ensure the permanent link length conforms to the infrastructure design recommendations and test channel performance after installation.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline CAT6A cables to avoid excessive temperature rise. Follow relevant ISO/IEC, TIA standards and ANSI TSB-184-A guidance: use shorter permanent link lengths when employing 32 AWG patch cords to accommodate higher attenuation at higher frequencies.
