ACT punainen 0,5 metriä LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Datacenter Slimline -verkkokaapeli snagless RJ45-liittimillä

The ACT Red 0.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a slimline Ethernet cable for data center and professional networking use. With a reduced diameter compared to regular CAT6 patch cords, it supports improved airflow in racks and cabinets while providing high-speed data transmission. The cable uses U/UTP construction and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts for reliable connectivity. Because it employs 28 AWG conductors, attenuation is higher at upper frequencies than with standard 24 AWG cords, so link lengths and bundling should be planned accordingly.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and lowers the bending radius compared with standard 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords, improving cable management and airflow in dense installations. LSZH jacket material reduces hazardous smoke and toxic gases in case of fire. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold plating ensure secure terminations and stable signal transfer. The U/UTP design offers basic protection against external interference while maintaining a compact profile.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, server or patch panel) and the other end to the corresponding port. Route the cable through the rack or cable management channels, observing the reduced bending radius to avoid damaging the slim jacket. For reliable performance, use this 0.5 m patch cable for short patch runs inside racks or between adjacent devices.

Recommendations

Use shorter permanent link lengths than you would with standard 24 AWG patchcords to compensate for higher attenuation of 28 AWG conductors. In Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to reduce temperature rise; follow ANSI TSB-184-A guidance to keep the temperature increase below 15 °C above ambient for the centre cable in a bundle.
