ACT grijs 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patchkabel snagless met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Grey 3 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline datacenter Ethernet cord designed for high-speed data transmission in rack and cabinet environments. Its reduced diameter (approx. 3.8 mm) and U/FTP shielding lower crosstalk and improve airflow compared with regular CAT6A patch cords. RJ-45 connectors with gold plating ensure stable contact for network connections.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter provides a smaller bending radius and better cable management in dense installations, helping maintain cabinet airflow. U/FTP shielding reduces electromagnetic interference and supports consistent signal quality. LSZH jacket material minimizes smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Using 32 AWG conductors enables the slim profile, though it increases attenuation at higher frequencies compared with 24 AWG cables.

Suitable for

• Datacenter patching and high-density rack installations
• Horizontal and vertical cabling where space and airflow are limited
• Network equipment connections requiring RJ-45 to RJ-45 links (3 m length)

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6A, U/FTP shielding
• Length: 3 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Conductor gauge: 32 AWG (slimmer profile, higher attenuation vs 24 AWG)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC7003 / 8716065442021

How to use

Plug one RJ-45 connector into the network device port and the other into the patch panel or switch port. Route the slimline cable along cable trays or through cabinet managers, maintaining gentle bends to respect the product's bending radius. For installations involving Power over Ethernet (PoE), follow the guidance on bundle sizing to control temperature rise.

Recommendations

Use bundles of no more than 24 cables for PoE deployments to limit temperature increase. Because 32 AWG conductors exhibit higher attenuation—especially at higher frequencies—keep permanent link lengths shorter than those used with standard 24 AWG patch cords to ensure signal performance that meets ISO/IEC and TIA requirements.
