ACT arancione 0,5 m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 cavo patch Slimline per data center snagless con connettori RJ45

ACT Orange 0.5m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 is a slimline CAT6 patch cord with a 0.5 m length, LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. The cable uses U/UTP construction (unshielded foil-free pairs) and a reduced diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with standard CAT6 patch cords, which improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets while supporting high-speed data transmission for typical networking applications.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces bundle bulk and lowers the bending radius requirement relative to regular CAT6 patch cords, enabling better cable management and improved airflow in dense installations. The LSZH jacket limits hazardous smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Snagless RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts provide secure connections and corrosion-resistant signal paths. The cable complies with CAT6 performance characteristics, though the slimmer 28 AWG conductor construction increases attenuation compared with 22–26 AWG cables, particularly at higher frequencies.

Suitable for

• Data center and server rack patching
• Network cabinets and high-density installations
• Short-run connections between switches, patch panels and active equipment
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) cabling

Key specifications

• Length: 0.5 m
• Cable type: U/UTP CAT6 slimline (approx. 3.8 mm diameter)
• Conductor gauge: 28 AWG (slimmer construction than standard 22–26 AWG)
• Connectors: RJ-45 snagless to RJ-45 snagless, gold-plated contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Color: Orange
• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC9100 / 8716065510331

How to use

Insert the snagless RJ45 connector into the device or patch panel port until the latch clicks to secure the connection. Route the 0.5 m cable with gentle bends respecting the reduced bending radius and avoid tight kinks. For neat management in racks or cabinets, group slimline cables to maintain airflow; do not exceed recommended bundle practices for PoE deployments. Disconnect by depressing the latch and pulling the connector straight out to prevent damage to the plug or port.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations use bundles of no more than 24 slimline cables to limit temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A guidance keeps the center cable temperature increase below 15 °C above ambient. Be aware that 28 AWG slimline cables have higher attenuation than thicker 22–26 AWG cables, so keep links short or verify signal margins for high-frequency or long-distance applications.
