ACT Paars 10 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline-patchkabel rastnasbescherming met RJ45-stekkers

ACT Purple 10 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts is designed for high-density network installations. The slimline construction (approx. 3.8 mm diameter) reduces required space and improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets compared with standard CAT6 patch cords, while the LSZH jacket lowers harmful emissions in case of fire.

Advantages

The slim 28 AWG U/UTP CAT6 design allows denser cable routing and a smaller bending radius, improving cable management in confined spaces. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the clip during installation and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer. The LSZH jacket provides reduced smoke and toxic gas release compared with standard PVC sheathing.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks where space and airflow are critical
• High-density networking cabinets and patch panels
• General Ethernet connections up to CAT6 performance over 10 m
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen cable jackets

Key specifications

• Standard: U/UTP CAT6 (compliant with CAT6 performance)
• Cable length: 10 m
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG (slimline)
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline vs ~5.9 mm standard)
• Connectors: RJ45 – snagless, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Colour: Purple

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, patch panel or server) and the other to the corresponding port. Route the slimline cable through the rack or cabinet, taking advantage of the smaller bending radius to fit in tight channels and improve airflow. Avoid excessive twisting and sharp bends beyond the cable's minimum bend radius to maintain CAT6 performance.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundled cables to a maximum of 24 in a bundle to prevent excessive temperature rise. Note that 28 AWG conductors exhibit higher attenuation than 22–26 AWG at higher frequencies; for long runs or applications near the performance limit, verify link performance. ANSI TSB-184-A recommends a maximum temperature increase of less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable in a bundle.
