ACT Marrone 5 metri LSZH U/FTP CAT6A cavo patch slimline datacenter con connettori RJ45

The ACT Brown 5 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slim-diameter network cable designed for high-density datacenter and network cabinet installations. With a 3.8 mm diameter it is noticeably thinner than standard CAT6A patch cords, improves rack airflow and is suitable for indoor use due to its LSZH jacket. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and gold-plated RJ45 contacts to support reliable high-speed data transmission over 5 m.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm construction reduces cable bulk and allows a lower bending radius compared to regular CAT6A cords, helping to improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets. The LSZH jacket minimizes smoke emission in case of fire, and snagless RJ45 boots protect connectors during installation. U/FTP shielding provides improved protection against crosstalk and interference while gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and reliable connectivity.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter and server rack wiring
• Network cabinets where improved airflow is required
• Indoor horizontal and patching connections between network devices
• Environments requiring low-smoke (LSZH) cable jackets

Key specifications

• Standard: CAT6A
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil‑shielded pairs)
• Length: 5 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Connector type: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Brown

How to use

Connect one RJ45 end to the network device (switch, patch panel or NIC) and the other end to the corresponding device port. Route the cable through the rack or cabinet keeping bends within the cable's recommended bending radius to maintain performance. For standard installations use single cables or small bundles; follow equipment manufacturer guidance when plugging into ports to avoid excessive mechanical stress on connectors.

Recommendations

Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards typically specify 22–26 AWG patch cords, slimline datacenter cables may use thinner conductors (for example 32 AWG), which increases attenuation at higher frequencies. For PoE applications ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 slimline cables to limit temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A specifies that the center cable temperature increase should remain below 15 °C above ambient.
