ACT blauw 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patchkabel met rastnasbescherming en RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Blue 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline snagless RJ45 patch cable is designed for high-speed Ethernet connections in data centres and dense network cabinets. The slimline cable has a reduced diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with regular CAT6 patch cords, enabling improved cable routing and increased airflow inside racks. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts ensure reliable connections and reduced wear during repeated plugging.

Advantages

The slimline U/UTP design occupies less space and lowers the bending radius compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords, which helps with tidier cable management and better airflow in cabinets. LSZH jacket material reduces hazardous smoke and corrosive gases in the event of fire. Snagless boots protect the RJ45 clip during installation and the gold-plated contacts provide stable signal transfer.

Suitable for

• Data centre patch panels and high-density racks
• Short permanent links and horizontal cabling within cabinets
• Server-to-switch and switch-to-patch-panel connections

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, patch panel or server) and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the slimline cable through cable management channels or troughs, observing the reduced bending radius to avoid kinking. For best performance, use this CAT6 patch cable for short links inside racks and between adjacent equipment.

Recommendations

Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards typically specify patch cords between 22 and 26 AWG, 28 AWG slimline cables are used in this product family and can exhibit higher attenuation, especially at higher frequencies. To accommodate extra attenuation, ACT recommends using shorter permanent link lengths than with standard 24 AWG cables. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to help control temperature rise; current guidance (ANSI TSB-184-A) aims to keep the centre cable temperature increase below 15 °C above ambient.
