ACT giallo 5 metri LSZH U/UTP CAT6 data center Slimline patch cable con connettori RJ45

The ACT Yellow 5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable is a slimline datacenter Ethernet cable with a 3.8 mm diameter designed for high-speed data transmission and improved cable management in cabinets. It uses U/UTP construction and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts, and the LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire. Because the cable uses 28 AWG conductors in a slim profile, attenuation is higher at upper frequencies compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords, so permanent link lengths should be shorter where needed.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter reduces occupied space and improves airflow inside racks and cabinets compared with regular CAT6 patch cords. Snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts provide reliable contact and easy installation. The LSZH jacket lowers toxic emissions in enclosed spaces. The U/UTP design offers basic protection against external interference while keeping the cable flexible and easy to route.

How to use

Install the ACT Yellow 5 m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable by plugging the RJ45 connectors into the network ports or patch panels until the latch clicks. Route the slimline cable through cable management trays or ducting to optimise airflow. For permanent links, plan for shorter link lengths than with standard 24 AWG cords to compensate for higher attenuation at higher frequencies. Avoid sharp bends beyond the cable's bend radius and protect connectors from mechanical stress.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to help control temperature rise in the bundle; follow current standards (ANSI TSB-184-A) that target less than a 15 °C temperature increase above ambient for the centre cable. Where long runs or maximum performance at high frequencies are required, consider using standard 24 AWG CAT6 cables instead of 28 AWG slimline types.
