ACT Orange 0.15m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable snagless RJ45

The ACT Orange 0.15m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable with snagless RJ45 connectors is a short high-performance network cable intended for interconnections where space is limited. It supports Category 6A performance for high-speed data transmission and is built with an overall unshielded jacket and individually foil-shielded pairs (U/FTP) to reduce crosstalk. The slim 0.15 meter length and snagless connector design simplify installation in dense patch panels and behind equipment while the low-smoke zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket lowers toxic fume and smoke output in confined or safety-sensitive environments.

Advantages

The cable combines CAT6A electrical performance with U/FTP pair shielding to provide improved near-end crosstalk protection compared with plain unshielded designs. The snagless RJ45 boots protect the connector latch during routing and removal, reducing the risk of accidental tab breakage. Its very short 0.15 m length minimizes cable clutter and signal path length for patching between adjacent ports, while the LSZH outer sheath meets requirements for installations where reduced smoke and halogen emissions are desired. The slim construction also contributes to easier cable management in high-density racks.

Suitable for

• Patching between adjacent ports in data center patch panels and network racks
• Short runs behind servers, switches, and network appliances in confined spaces
• Environments requiring low-smoke, zero-halogen materials such as control rooms or public buildings
• High-speed Ethernet links up to 10 Gigabit where CAT6A performance is needed

Key specifications

• Category: CAT6A performance for 10 Gigabit Ethernet
• Length: 0.15 meter (approx. 15 cm)
• Conductor arrangement: U/FTP (overall unshielded with individually foil-shielded pairs)
• Connector: RJ45 with snagless boot
• Jacket material: LSZH (low smoke zero halogen)
• Design: Slimline for tight routing and high-density installations

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug into the corresponding RJ45 port until the latch clicks, ensuring correct orientation. Use the 0.15 m cable to connect adjacent ports on the same patch panel, or to create a short link between a switch and a nearby server or appliance. Avoid sharp bends at the connector entry and do not exceed the recommended bend radius; route the cable alongside other patch cords to maintain neat cable management. The snagless boots reduce the chance of latch damage during frequent moves or repatching.

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance, use this short CAT6A cable for intra-rack and adjacent-port connections rather than long horizontal runs. Verify connectors are fully seated and avoid running the cable tightly alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference. Store spare cords coiled loosely and avoid compressing the LSZH jacket to preserve mechanical integrity.
