ACT Rosso 10 metri LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Datacenter Slimline cavo patch con connettori RJ45 e guaina antikink

The ACT Red 10 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a slimline datacenter cable designed for tight rack and cabinet environments. At 3.8 mm diameter, the CAT6 U/UTP slimline construction reduces bend radius and improves airflow compared with standard 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords. The cable uses U/UTP (unshielded pair with overall braid not present) construction, gold-plated contacts and LSZH jacket, and is supplied in a 10 m length suitable for longer patching runs inside data centres and network rooms.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter lowers cable bulk and supports better ventilation in server racks and network cabinets. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and removal. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and corrosive gas in case of fire. Using 28 AWG conductors in a slimline CAT6 cord allows for reduced cable diameter while maintaining CAT6 performance, though attenuation is higher at higher frequencies compared to thicker 22–26 AWG cords.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the ACT Red 10 m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 patch cable between equipment and patch panels, avoiding sharp bends and excessive pulling force. Insert RJ45 plugs into corresponding sockets until the latch clicks. For neat cable management in racks, follow cabinet routing channels and maintain the cable bend radius to preserve signal integrity. Verify network link status after connection to confirm proper termination and operation.

Recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, ACT advises limiting bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to prevent excessive temperature rise. The ANSI TSB-184-A guideline recommends that temperature increase for the centre cable in a bundle remain below 15 °C above ambient; larger bundles or higher-power PoE may require reduced bundle sizes or additional cooling.
