ACT geel 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patchkabel rastnasenfrei met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Yellow 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 slimline patch cable has a reduced diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) compared with regular CAT6 patch cords, enabling tighter routing and improved airflow in cabinets. The cable uses U/UTP construction, snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, and is made from LSZH material for low smoke and zero halogen characteristics suitable for indoor use.

Advantages

The slimline CAT6 design lowers cable bulk and allows a smaller bending radius, contributing to better cable management and increased airflow in data cabinets. LSZH jacket material reduces smoke and hazardous gases in confined spaces. Gold-plated contacts and snagless RJ45 plugs provide reliable connections and ease of installation. The U/UTP construction offers standard unshielded twisted-pair performance while maintaining a compact profile.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server cabinets where space and airflow are important
• Rack-to-equipment connections and patch panels
• Indoor network installations in public or commercial buildings

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6 U/UTP slimline
• Length: 1 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Connect one RJ45 plug to the network port on your switch, patch panel or device and the other RJ45 plug to the corresponding port. Route the slimline cable through rack channels or cable management panels, observing the reduced bending radius compared with thicker patch cords. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click to secure the connection.

Recommendations

ACT notes that 28 AWG slimline cables are permissible but exhibit higher attenuation than 24 AWG; to accommodate this, use shorter permanent link lengths when necessary. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to help control temperature rise in the bundle, and follow applicable standards (for example ANSI TSB-184-A) that limit temperature increase for the center cable in a bundle.
