ACT Black 0.15 m U/FTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled down to straight

The ACT Slimline Cat6A U/FTP LSZH patch cable, 0.15 m long, provides a compact Ethernet connection with a straight RJ45 connector on one end and a 90° angled (down) RJ45 connector on the other. The slimline jacket has an outer diameter of 3.8 mm, reducing space usage and improving airflow in server racks or network cabinets while maintaining Cat6A performance and shielding with U/FTP foiled pairs. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire or cable damage. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µm gold-plated RJ45 contacts and is manufactured and tested to meet international standards.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm diameter minimizes cable bulk and improves airflow in cabinets and racks compared with standard Cat6A cords. The combination of a straight connector and a 90° down angled connector enables installation in tight spaces without overstressing the cable bend radius. U/FTP shielding and full copper 32AWG conductors support reliable Cat6A performance, while the LSZH jacket lowers smoke and halogen risk in case of fire.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is intended for short, high-density patching runs (0.15 m) and is not suitable for long-distance links. Environments that require armoured or outdoor-rated cables, or where a thicker jacket is needed for mechanical protection, should select a different cable type.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the straight RJ45 plug into the port on the switch, patch panel or device and insert the 90° down angled plug into the corresponding port where rear clearance is limited. Ensure connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable to avoid sharp bends and maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius; the slimline construction allows tighter routing but still requires careful handling to avoid damaging the connector or jacket.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this ACT Cat6A U/FTP LSZH slimline patch cable for short, dense patching runs in cabinets and racks. Check port orientation before installation to ensure the 90° down angled connector matches the available clearance, and avoid excessive pulling or sharp bends to maintain cable integrity and performance.
