ACT bruin 0,5 m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patchkabel, trekontlasting met RJ45-stekkers

ACT Brown 0.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slimline datacenter Ethernet cable designed for high-density installations. With a 3.8 mm diameter and LSZH jacket, this CAT6 U/UTP cable reduces occupied space in racks and cabinets while providing reliable connectivity via gold-plated contacts and standard RJ45 terminations.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm construction yields a smaller bending radius and improved airflow in server racks compared with regular 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latch during installation. Using 28 AWG conductors allows for a thinner cable suitable for high-density patching, while gold-plated contacts support stable signal transmission. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and fumes in case of fire, making it suitable for data centre environments.

Suitable for

• High-density rack and cabinet patching in data centres and network rooms
• Short patch links between switches, patch panels and servers (0.5 m)
• Environments where improved rack airflow and reduced cable bulk are required

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6 U/UTP
• Length: 0.5 m
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG (slimline construction)
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm
• Connectors: RJ45 to RJ45, snagless boots, gold-plated contacts

• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC9200 / 8716065510423

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connector into the corresponding port on your switch, patch panel or server until the latch clicks. Use the 0.5 m patch cable for short connections inside racks or between adjacent devices. Route the cable following the rack’s cable management paths to maintain airflow and avoid sharp bends that exceed the cable’s bending radius.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to prevent excessive temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends keeping the temperature increase of the centre cable below 15 °C above ambient. Be aware that 28 AWG cables exhibit higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with 22–26 AWG cables, which may affect maximum link length and signal margin in some applications.
