ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable 0.15m, LSZH, RJ45, Green

The ACT CAT6A S/FTP Slimline Patch Cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for professional environments where space and reliability are critical. Measuring 0.15 meters in length, this cable supports data transfer speeds of up to 10 Gbit/s and a bandwidth of 500MHz. Its slimline design, featuring a 4.5mm outer diameter, significantly improves airflow within server racks and network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

Advantages

This patch cable offers superior signal integrity through its S/FTP shielding, which protects against electromagnetic interference. The use of full copper 30AWG wires combined with 50µ gold-plated RJ-45 contacts ensures a stable and durable connection. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it an ideal choice for modern data centers and office infrastructures. Furthermore, the snagless connector design prevents damage to the locking tabs during installation and removal.

Suitable for

• High-density server environments
• Network cabinets with limited space
• Professional 10 Gigabit Ethernet setups
• Environments requiring strict fire safety standards

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for long-distance connections due to its 30AWG wire gauge, which can lead to higher signal attenuation at very high frequencies compared to thicker cables. It is specifically designed for short-reach patching within racks and is not intended for long-run structured cabling installations.

Key specifications

• Length: 0.15 meters
• Standard: CAT6A S/FTP
• Data rate: 10 Gbit/s
• Bandwidth: 500MHz
• Jacket material: LSZH
• Connector type: RJ-45 (Snagless)
• Wire gauge: 30AWG
• Color: Green

How to use

To use the cable, simply insert the RJ-45 connector into the corresponding port on your network switch, patch panel, or server device until you hear a click. The snagless design allows for easy insertion and removal without the risk of the locking tab catching on adjacent cables. Ensure that the cable is not bent beyond its minimum bending radius to maintain optimal performance and longevity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required length for your specific rack layout
• Ensure compatibility with your existing network hardware
• Check if your environment requires LSZH-rated cabling for safety compliance
• Consider the 30AWG gauge limitations for high-frequency applications

Usage recommendations

For the best performance in high-density racks, use these slimline cables to improve cable management and airflow. Always ensure that the cable is routed neatly and not subjected to excessive tension or sharp bends.
