ACT wit 5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patchkabel, rastnasenvrij met RJ45-stekkers

ACT White 5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in datacenters and network cabinets. With a 3.8 mm diameter it occupies less space than regular CAT6A patch cords, improves airflow in server racks, and uses LSZH jacket material for reduced smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. The cable supports RJ45 termination at both ends and features gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity.

Advantages

The slimline U/FTP design reduces cable diameter and bending radius compared with standard CAT6A cables, enabling denser cable routing and improved rack airflow. The LSZH jacket lowers smoke and toxic gas output under fire conditions. Snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts provide stable electrical contact and easier handling during installation. The 5 m length suits typical datacenter patching runs.

Suitable for

• Datacenter and server rack patching where space and airflow are critical
• High-speed Gigabit and 10 Gigabit Ethernet connections
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) cabling

Key specifications

• Cable category: CAT6A U/FTP
• Length: 5 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Conductor gauge: typically thinner than standard 22–26 AWG (see manufacturer guidance on attenuation)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: White

How to use

Route the ACT slimline CAT6A cable between switches, patch panels and servers, avoiding sharp bends and securing the cable within the rack to maintain the reduced bending radius. Insert RJ45 plugs fully into ports until the latch clicks. For best performance, keep patch cord runs within recommended lengths and separate power and high-interference sources. Observe standard wiring and grounding practices when connecting to network equipment.

Recommendations

Use a maximum bundle size of 24 cables for Power over Ethernet (PoE) applications to limit temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A guidance recommends keeping the center-cable temperature increase below 15 °C above ambient. Be aware that the slimline construction and finer conductors can produce higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with standard 22–26 AWG patch cords.
