ACT Yellow 2 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Yellow 2 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline datacenter Ethernet cable designed for high-speed data transfer. With a 2 m length, U/FTP shielding and snagless gold-plated RJ-45 connectors, it provides reliable connectivity while LSZH jacket material reduces smoke emission in case of fire. Compared with regular CAT6A patch cords, this slimline cable has a smaller diameter (3.8 mm vs 5.9 mm) and a reduced bending radius, which supports improved airflow inside racks and cabinets.

Advantages

Slimline construction lowers cable bulk in dense installations and improves airflow in server cabinets. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference, and gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensure consistent signal transmission. The LSZH jacket offers low smoke and halogen-free behaviour for safer deployment in data centers and other enclosed environments.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter patching and top-of-rack connections
• Short permanent link and patch panel connections within racks
• Environments requiring low-smoke, halogen-free cabling

Key specifications

• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with foil-shielded pairs)
• Length: 2 m
• Diameter: 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC7802 / 8716065442250

How to use

Install the patch cable by inserting the RJ-45 connectors into compatible ports on switches, patch panels or network devices until the latch clicks. Route cables following rack management practices, avoiding tight bends and maintaining the recommended bending radius. For optimal performance in links using 32 AWG slimline construction, keep permanent link lengths shorter than those used with standard 24 AWG patch cords to accommodate higher attenuation at higher frequencies.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to control temperature rise; this helps keep the center cable temperature increase under the ANSI TSB-184-A recommendation of less than 15 °C above ambient. Use slimline cables where high port density and improved airflow are priorities, and plan link lengths accounting for the higher attenuation of 32 AWG conductors.
