ACT Purple 0.15m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45

The ACT Purple 0.15m LSZH U/UTP CAT6 Patch Cable Snagless RJ45 (MPN: DC9330, EAN: 8716065518887) is a slimline Category 6 Ethernet patch cord with a 0.15 meter length, LSZH jacket and snagless RJ45 connectors with gold-plated contacts. Its reduced outer diameter (approximately 3.8 mm) compared with standard CAT6 patch cords improves cable routing and airflow in server racks and network cabinets, while maintaining U/UTP (unshielded) construction suitable for typical structured cabling installations.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter offers lower bend radius and occupies less space than regular 5.9 mm CAT6 patch cords, contributing to cleaner cable management and better airflow in dense rack environments. The LSZH jacket reduces smoke and toxic emissions in case of fire. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable connection and corrosion resistance. The 28 AWG conductor construction allows a thinner cable profile, although it results in higher attenuation at higher frequencies compared with 22–26 AWG alternatives.

Suitable for

• Data centers and server racks where space and airflow are critical
• Network cabinets with high-density patching
• Short-distance patching between switches, patch panels and equipment (0.15 m)
• Environments that require low-smoke, halogen-free cabling (LSZH)

• Brand / MPN / EAN: ACT / DC9330 / 8716065518887

How to use

Plug one RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and the other connector into the corresponding switch, server or patch panel port. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Route the cable following rack and cabinet pathways, avoiding sharp bends and excessive tension. For best performance, maintain proper patching practices and avoid running slimline U/UTP cables in close parallel with strong electrical interference sources.

Usage recommendations

For Power over Ethernet (PoE) installations, limit bundled groups to a maximum of 24 slimline cables to prevent excessive temperature rise; ANSI TSB-184-A recommends that the center cable temperature increase remain below 15 °C above ambient. Consider using these 0.15 m slimline CAT6 cables for short patch connections in high-density arrays to preserve airflow and simplify cable management.
