ACT oranssi 0,5 metrin LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datakeskuksen Slimline-patchkaapeli lukituskynsien suojalla RJ45-liittimillä

The ACT Orange 0.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 (MPN: DC7100, EAN: 8716065509762) is a slimline category 6A Ethernet patch cord designed for data center and network cabinet use. With a 0.5 meter length, LSZH (low smoke zero halogen) jacket and U/FTP shielding, it supports high-speed data transmission while minimizing smoke and hazardous gases in case of fire. The cable is thinner than standard CAT6A cords (approx. 3.8 mm diameter) and uses snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable mating and reduced contact corrosion.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm diameter construction decreases bend radius and improves airflow inside server racks and network cabinets compared with regular 5.9 mm CAT6A patch cords. U/FTP shielding reduces crosstalk and provides better signal integrity. The LSZH jacket reduces harmful emissions in the event of a fire. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latch during installation and gold-plated contacts ensure consistent electrical contact.

Suitable for

• Data center horizontal patching in dense rack environments
• High-density network cabinets and server racks
• Short links between switches, patch panels and servers (0.5 m)
• Installations where low smoke and halogen-free materials are required

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A (U/FTP)
• Length: 0.5 m
• Diameter: slimline ≈ 3.8 mm
• Conductor gauge: 32 AWG (slimline cable construction)
• Jacket: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Connectors: Snagless RJ45 with gold-plated contacts
• Standards: Designed for use within ISO/IEC and TIA cabling systems (note: 32 AWG increases attenuation at higher frequencies)

How to use

Connect one RJ45 connector to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other to the corresponding port. Route the 0.5 m patch cable within the rack or cabinet keeping bends gentle and avoiding sharp kinks. The snagless boot protects the latch during insertion and removal. Ensure proper port alignment and fully seat connectors until the latch clicks to guarantee reliable contact.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled runs to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to control temperature rise. The ANSI TSB-184-A guideline limits the allowable temperature increase to less than 15 °C above ambient for the center cable; follow this when planning bundled PoE installations. Be aware that 32 AWG conductors produce higher attenuation at higher frequencies, so use these short 0.5 m cables primarily for short, high-density patching.
