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

ACT Black 0.25m RJ45 Cat6A U/UTP Black is a slimline Cat6A patch cable with a 0.25 m length, straight-to-90° connector configuration and a LSZH jacket. The cable uses 28 AWG full-copper conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts, meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard and is designed to reduce occupied space and improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets.

Advantages

The slimline 3.6 mm diameter construction provides a smaller bend radius and takes up less space than standard Cat6A patch cords, improving cable management and airflow in dense rack environments. The combination of a straight RJ45 connector and a 90° angled RJ45 connector enables secure connections in tight spaces behind equipment. The LSZH jacket limits production of toxic gases in case of fire, and gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Data centre and server rack cable runs with limited space
• Network cabinets and patch panels where rear clearance is restricted
• Connections behind switches, routers and rack-mounted equipment
• Short patch connections between closely spaced ports

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A U/UTP (unshielded)
• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Cable diameter: slimline 3.6 mm (typical for slimline Cat6A)
• Conductor: 28 AWG full copper
• Connectors: straight RJ45 to 90° angled RJ45
• Contacts: 50 µin gold-plated
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D compliant
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 end to the network device or patch panel and insert the 90° angled RJ45 into the adjacent port or the rear-facing port where space is limited. Ensure connectors are fully seated and avoid sharp bends closer than the recommended bend radius for slimline cables. Use for short patching runs within racks or cabinets where a compact cable profile is required.

Recommendations

For optimal performance, route the cable to avoid tight kinks and maintain the improved bend radius offered by the slimline design; do not exceed the specified working length of 0.25 m for point-to-point patching. Use in installations requiring reduced cable bulk and improved airflow; avoid placing the cable near heat sources or sharp edges that could damage the jacket.
