## Summary description

The ACT DC8951 is a 1.5 m networking cable designed for high-speed data transmission. It features Cat6 standard with U/UTP shielding, ensuring minimal interference. The cable is equipped with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors for reliable connectivity, making it ideal for home and office networking needs.

## Long description

The ACT DC8951 is a 1.5 m Cat6 U/UTP slimline networking cable with gold-plated RJ-45 connectors and a purple jacket. Its reduced outer diameter and lower bending radius compared with regular Cat6 patch cords improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets while providing high-speed data transmission for home and office networks.
Advantages
The slimline 3.8 mm diameter construction reduces bundle bulk and allows denser cable routing while maintaining Cat6 performance. U/UTP design minimises external interference and the gold-plated RJ-45 connectors ensure reliable contact. The slim profile supports better ventilation in racks and cabinets, which is beneficial in constrained cable management environments.
Suitable for
Structured cabling in data centers and server racks
Office and home networking installations
Environments with limited cable space or where improved airflow is required
Connections between switches, patch panels and network devices
Key specifications
Standard: Cat6
Shielding: U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair with overall braid absent)
Length: 1.5 m
Connectors: RJ-45 to RJ-45, gold-plated
Colour: Purple
Outer diameter (typical slimline): 3.8 mm (smaller than regular ~5.9 mm)
Wire gauge: 28 AWG (note: higher attenuation vs 22–26 AWG, especially at higher frequencies)
How to use
Plug the RJ-45 connectors into the corresponding network ports on devices such as switches, patch panels or computers. Route the cable following standard cable management practices, avoiding sharp bends beyond the cable's bending radius. For organized installations, bundle and secure cables using ties or management panels while ensuring airflow is not obstructed.
Usage recommendations
For Power over Ethernet (PoE) deployments, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 cables to control temperature rise; this helps keep the centre cable's temperature increase within the limits specified by ANSI TSB-184-A (less than 15 °C above ambient).
