ACT groen 5 m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patchkabel snagless met RJ45-stekkers

The ACT Green 5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A slimline patch cable (DC7705, EAN 8716065442212) is a 5 m green network cable with snagless RJ45 connectors, gold-plated contacts and U/FTP shielding. With a reduced diameter of 3.8 mm compared with standard CAT6A patch cords, this cable is designed for use in data centre and high-density rack environments where improved airflow and space efficiency are required.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and offers a smaller bending radius than regular 5.9 mm CAT6A patch cords, which helps improve cabinet airflow. U/FTP shielding provides enhanced protection against electromagnetic interference. Gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and high-density racks
• High-speed Ethernet links up to CAT6A performance
• PoE deployments with recommended bundle limits

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network port on your switch or patch panel and the other end to the device or port you want to link. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet keeping bend radius in mind and avoiding sharp kinks. For structured cabling, use the slimline cable to reduce congestion in high-density panels and to maintain airflow paths in the cabinet.

Recommendations

Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards typically reference 22–26 AWG for patch cords, these slimline cables use 32 AWG conductors which produce higher attenuation, especially at higher frequencies. To accommodate this, ACT recommends shorter permanent link lengths compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords. For Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications, limit bundles to a maximum of 24 cables to prevent excessive temperature rise. The ANSI TSB-184-A guideline restricts temperature increase to less than 15 °C above ambient for the centre cable in a bundle.
