ACT Black 0.25 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled down to straight

ACT Black 0.25m RJ45 Cat6A U/UTP Black is a slimline CAT6A patch cable with a 3.6 mm diameter and LSZH jacket, designed for high-speed network connections in confined spaces. The cable features one straight RJ45 connector and one 90° angled down RJ45 connector, 28 AWG full copper conductors and 50 µ gold-plated contacts. It meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard and is suitable for installations in server racks, network cabinets and behind equipment where reduced bend radius and improved airflow are required.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm diameter reduces cable bulk compared with standard CAT6A cords, allowing denser cable routing and improved airflow in racks and cabinets. The combination of a straight and a 90° angled down RJ45 connector enables connections in tight spaces without compromising bend radius. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire, while full copper 28 AWG conductors and 50 µ gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. Compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D ensures performance consistent with CAT6A specifications.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and data center cabinets
• Connections behind networking equipment or tight enclosures
• High-density cable management runs where airflow is important
• Environments requiring LSZH cable jackets for safety

How to use

Route the 0.25 m patch cable between the networking device and the patch panel or switch, ensuring the 90° angled down connector aligns with the available port orientation. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and secure the cable within the cabinet or rack for proper strain relief. Plug the straight RJ45 end and the angled RJ45 end into the respective ports until the connector latches click into place.

Recommendations

Use this slimline CAT6A patch cable for short-distance, high-density deployments where space and airflow are limited. Select the connector orientation (straight to 90° down) that matches your rack or device layout; ACT also offers alternate angled orientations if required.
