ACT žltý 0,5 metra LSZH U/FTP CAT6A DataCenter Slimline patch kábel snagless s RJ45 konektormi

The ACT Yellow 0.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline datacenter Ethernet cable designed for high-speed links in dense rack environments. With a 3.8 mm diameter and U/FTP shielding, it reduces occupied space and improves cabinet airflow while providing protection against crosstalk and external interference. The cable uses RJ-45 connectors with gold plating and meets CAT6A performance for up to 10 Gbps connections.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm construction saves space compared with regular CAT6A patch cords and offers a smaller bending radius, resulting in better airflow in cabinets. U/FTP shielding minimizes electromagnetic interference and crosstalk. Being LSZH, the jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire. While the cable uses thinner conductors (32 AWG) which increase attenuation at higher frequencies, a shorter permanent link is recommended to accommodate this characteristic.

Suitable for

• High-density datacenter patching where space and airflow are critical
• 10 Gbps Ethernet connections within short horizontal links
• Environments requiring U/FTP shielding to limit interference

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A
• Length: 0.5 m
• Construction: slimline, 3.8 mm diameter
• Shielding: U/FTP (overall unshielded, foiled pairs)
• Conductor size: 32 AWG (higher attenuation than 24 AWG)
• Connectors: RJ-45 with gold plating
• Jacket type: LSZH
• Colour: Yellow

How to use

Install the patch cable between networking equipment ports (RJ-45) in racks or patch panels, keeping link lengths short to compensate for higher attenuation from the 32 AWG conductors. Route cables with care to preserve the small bending radius and maintain cabinet airflow. Follow standard cabling practices for termination and testing to ensure CAT6A performance.

Recommendations

For PoE deployments, limit bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to avoid excessive temperature rise; this follows guidance to keep the center-cable temperature increase under 15 °C above ambient per ANSI TSB-184-A. Consider shorter permanent link lengths compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords to accommodate higher attenuation at higher frequencies.
