ACT grijs 1 m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patchkabel snagless met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Grey 1 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a slimline Ethernet cord designed for data centre and networking use. With a 1 m length, snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts, it supports reliable connections while its LSZH jacket reduces smoke emission in case of fire. The slim 3.8 mm diameter and reduced bending radius improve airflow in cabinets compared with standard CAT6 patch cords.

Advantages

The slim U/UTP CAT6 construction occupies less space and allows denser cable routing in racks and patch panels. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts provide consistent signal transfer and mechanical durability. The LSZH outer sheath limits toxic smoke and fumes in enclosed environments. Compared with standard 24 AWG patchcords, the 28 AWG-equivalent slim design may exhibit higher attenuation at higher frequencies, a trade-off compensated by shorter permanent link recommendations.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and rack-to-panel connections
• High-density cabling runs where airflow is a concern
• Office and telecom closets requiring LSZH materials
• Short Ethernet links (1 m) between network equipment

How to use

Insert the RJ45 connectors into compatible Ethernet ports on switches, routers or patch panels until the latch clicks. Route the slim cable through cable managers or tray spaces to preserve the improved airflow benefits. For optimal signal performance, keep the patch cable length to the required minimum and avoid tight kinks; the smaller bending radius allows flexible placement but do not exceed manufacturer-recommended bend limits.

Recommendations

ACT recommends using shorter permanent link lengths than with standard 24 AWG patchcords to compensate for higher attenuation at higher frequencies. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to help control temperature rise in the bundle, in line with current guidance (ANSI TSB-184-A) that seeks to limit temperature increase to under 15 °C above ambient for the centre cable.
