Patch Cable ACT Black 0.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A

The ACT Black 0.5m LSZH U/FTP CAT6A patch cable is a slimline data center Ethernet cable designed for high-speed connections in dense cabling environments. With a 3.8 mm diameter and U/FTP shielding, the cable balances space-saving routing and protection against electromagnetic interference. It has snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts and a low-smoke, zero-halogen (LSZH) jacket suitable for installations where reduced smoke and toxic emission are required.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm construction reduces cable bulk compared with regular CAT6A patch cords, improving airflow in server cabinets and making routing in tight spaces easier. U/FTP shielding enhances immunity to interference. The snagless RJ45 plugs with gold-plated contacts ensure secure mating and reliable signal transfer. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous emissions in case of fire. Because the cable uses 32 AWG conductors, it offers a thinner profile, though with higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with standard 24 AWG patch cords.

Suitable for

• High-density data center and server cabinet patching
• Short permanent link connections where space and airflow matter
• Structured cabling installations requiring LSZH materials
• Environments needing U/FTP-shielded Ethernet runs

Key specifications

• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC7900 / 8716065442298

How to use

Install the patch cable by plugging the RJ45 connectors into the corresponding ports on patch panels, switches, or network devices until the latch clicks. Route the cable through cable managers or cable trays, observing the reduced bending radius of slimline cords. For best performance, keep the patch length and permanent link length within the limits recommended for higher-attenuation 32 AWG cables and avoid excessive untwisting of pairs at termination points.

Usage recommendations

Use slimline 32 AWG CAT6A patch cords primarily for short patching runs in high-density cabinet environments. ACT recommends limiting PoE bundle sizes to a maximum of 24 cables to prevent excessive temperature rise; also allow for a shorter permanent link length than with 24 AWG cords to accommodate higher attenuation at higher frequencies.
