Description
CAT6 network cable full copper 28AWG wires, 50µ gold RJ-45 contacts. Jacket with an outer diameter of only 3.8 mm to improve airflow in the cabinet. Fixed cable lugs. For channel applications The specifications comply with international standards. The cables are 100% tested. 5 year warranty. CAT6 U/UTP Slimline Ethernet cables for data centers have a smaller diameter (3.8 mm compared to 5.9 mm) than regular CAT6 cables and the bending radius is lower compared to regular patch cables. All this leads to better airflow in the cabinet. Although ISO/IEC and TIA standards require the use of patch cables between 22 and 26 AWG, it is possible to use 28 AWG patch cables which leads to higher attenuation, especially at higher frequencies. ACT therefore recommends a shorter permanent connection length than normal 24AWG patch cables to compensate for this higher attenuation. ACT recommends a maximum bundle size of 24 cables in PoE applications to limit the temperature increase in cables associated with providing PoE inserts. The current standards (ANSI TSB-184-A) limit the maximum temperature increase to less than 15 degrees Celsius above the ambient temperature for the middle cable in a bundle.
