ACT Yellow 2 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable snagless with RJ45 connectors

The ACT Gele 2 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a slimline Ethernet cable designed for high-speed network connections in data centers and crowded cable environments. With a 2 m length, RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and LSZH jacket, this yellow U/UTP CAT6 cable supports reliable data transmission while reducing fire-hazarding smoke in confined spaces. Its reduced diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) improves cabinet airflow compared with standard CAT6 patch cords.

Advantages

The slimline construction reduces cable diameter and bending radius, enabling denser routing and improved airflow in racks and cabinets. U/UTP construction provides basic protection against interference while RJ-45 gold-plated contacts ensure stable connectivity. The LSZH jacket lowers toxic smoke emission in case of fire. Note that the 28 AWG-style slim conductors increase attenuation at higher frequencies compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords; for this reason ACT recommends using shorter permanent link lengths when applicable.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections between switches, servers and patch panels in data centres
• Cable routing in cabinets and racks where space and airflow optimisation are required
• Environments requiring LSZH jackets (confined or public spaces)

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 plug to the network device (switch, router or NIC) and the other to the patch panel or target device. Route the slimline cable through the rack or cabinet, avoiding sharp bends tighter than the cable's bending radius. For PoE applications, follow recommended bundle limits and monitor cable temperature. Terminate and test links according to your installation standards to verify performance and signal integrity.

Recommendations

ACT advises limiting PoE bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to reduce temperature rise. Because slimline cables may use thinner conductors, limit permanent link lengths compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords to compensate for increased attenuation, especially at higher frequencies.
