ACT Marrone 7 metri LSZH U/FTP CAT6A cavo patch slimline datacenter con connettori RJ45 e protezione linguetta

The ACT Brown 7 meter LSZH U/FTP CAT6A datacenter slimline patch cable snagless is a 7 m slim-diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) CAT6A U/FTP patch cord with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts. Designed for data centre and rack installations, the smaller diameter and reduced bending radius improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets while maintaining the CAT6A performance for high-speed data transmission. The cable uses LSZH jacket material and U/FTP shielding to reduce external interference and ensure reliable links over longer runs.

Advantages

The slimline construction provides a lower profile than regular CAT6A patch cords, enabling denser cable routing and better ventilation in racks. U/FTP shielding lowers near-end crosstalk and external electromagnetic interference. Snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector clip during installation, and gold-plated contacts deliver consistent conductivity and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire, which is suitable for enclosed installations.

Suitable for

• Data centre patching and top-of-rack connections
• High-density rack and network cabinet installations
• Environments requiring low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) materials
• Applications needing screened pairs to reduce EMI (U/FTP)

Key specifications

• Cable type: CAT6A U/FTP slimline patch cord
• Length: 7 m
• Diameter: approx. 3.8 mm (slimline)
• Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, snagless
• Contacts: gold-plated
• Jacket: LSZH
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Colour: Brown

How to use

Route the slimline patch cable between network devices or patch panels and servers, ensuring the cable is not bent beyond its specified bending radius. Insert the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports until the clip clicks. Use the snagless boot to protect the clip when pulling the cable through racks or trays. For PoE deployments, follow the recommended bundling limits to avoid excessive temperature rise.

Recommendations

For PoE applications ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 cables to limit temperature increase; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends the center cable temperature rise be less than 15 °C above ambient. Avoid excessive bundling and maintain adequate airflow in racks to preserve performance and cable lifespan.
