ACT groen 0,25 m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patchkabel met rastnasenloze stekkers

The ACT Green 0.25 m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline data center cable designed for short links and high-density installations. With a 3.8 mm diameter and U/FTP shielding, this 0.25 m green patch cord offers reduced bending radius, improved cabinet airflow and enhanced alien crosstalk protection compared with unshielded cords. The cable uses snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and LSZH jacket material for low smoke emission in case of fire.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and allows denser routing in patch panels and cabinets while maintaining CAT6A electrical performance for short links. U/FTP shielding lowers interference and alien crosstalk. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable mating and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke output in enclosed spaces. Using 32 AWG conductors enables the slimmer profile, though it results in higher attenuation compared with typical 24 AWG patch cords.

Suitable for

• High-density data center patching and short permanent links (0.25 m)
• Environments where improved cabinet airflow is required
• Connections between switches, servers and patch panels in limited space
• Installations requiring low-smoke (LSZH) materials

Key specifications

• Cable type: U/FTP, slimline CAT6A
• Length: 0.25 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Conductor gauge: 32 AWG (slimmer profile; higher attenuation than 24 AWG)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Green

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to a network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable's minimum bending radius as permitted by the slimline design. For permanent link planning, account for the higher attenuation of 32 AWG conductors by keeping the cable run short (this product is a 0.25 m patch cord intended for short links and patching within racks or cabinets).

Recommendations

ACT recommends limiting PoE installation bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to keep temperature rise within the ANSI TSB-184-A guidance (less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable). For longer permanent links or where lower attenuation is required, choose standard 24 AWG CAT6A patch cords.
