ACT Rojo 5 metros LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Cable de red Slimline para centro de datos con conectores RJ45

The ACT Red 5 meter LSZH U/UTP CAT6 datacenter slimline patch cable is designed for rack and cabinet installations where space and airflow are important. This slimline CAT6 U/UTP cable has a reduced diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with standard CAT6 patch cords, and comes with snagless RJ45 connectors and gold-plated contacts for reliable termination and signal transfer. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke in case of fire and the red colour makes cable identification easier in dense installations.

Advantages

Slimline construction lowers cable diameter and bending radius, improving airflow inside cabinets and enabling neater cable management. The U/UTP design provides basic unshielded twisted pair performance suitable for typical datacenter links. Snagless RJ45 connectors protect the plug latch during installation and handling. The LSZH jacket and gold-plated contacts ensure safe deployment and consistent conductivity.

Suitable for

• Short horizontal and patch connections in datacenter racks and network cabinets
• High-density cabling runs where reduced diameter improves airflow
• Equipment patching between switches, patch panels and servers at up to Cat6 performance

How to use

Route the slimline CAT6 patch cable between the patch panel, switch or server ports, ensuring connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends and maintain the cable's recommended bending radius to preserve performance. For best results in datacenter environments, use appropriate cable management accessories to keep bundles organised and to maximise airflow.

Recommendations

Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards typically specify 22–26 AWG for patch cords, this 28 AWG slimline cable has higher attenuation at higher frequencies; ACT therefore recommends using shorter permanent link lengths compared with standard 24 AWG cords. In PoE deployments limit bundle sizes (maximum recommended 24 cables) to reduce temperature rise — current guidance (ANSI TSB-184-A) limits the temperature increase in the centre cable to less than 15 °C above ambient.
