CAT6 U / UTP slimline data center ethernet cables have a smaller diameter (3.8 mm versus 5.9 mm) than standard CAT 6 patch cables and the bend radius is also smaller compared to regular patch cables, all of which ensures better airflow in the network cabinet.

Although ISO / IEC and TIA standards describe the use of patch cords between 22 and 26 AWG, it is possible to use 28 AWG patch cables, but this will result in higher attenuation, especially at higher frequencies.

ACT therefore recommends a shorter permanent link length than with regular 24 AWG patch cords to compensate for this higher attenuation.

ACT advises a maximum bundle size of 24 cables in PoE applications to limit temperature increases in the cables associated with delivering PoE implementations. Current standard (ANSI TSB-184-A) limit restricts the maximum temperature increase to less than 15 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature for the central cable in a bundle.
