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

ACT Black 0.25m RJ45 Cat6a U/UTP Black slimline patch cable is a 0.25 m straight-through network cable with a reduced diameter (3.6 mm) compared to regular Cat6a cords. It features a straight RJ45 connector on one end and a 90° angled up RJ45 connector on the other, uses LSZH jacket material and full copper 28AWG conductors with 50 µin gold-plated contacts, and complies with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D for Cat6a performance.

Advantages

The slimline design and smaller bend radius improve airflow in racks and cabinets and allow neat routing in confined spaces without compromising cable performance. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire, while 28AWG full copper conductors and gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The straight-to-90° up connector configuration provides flexible installation options where rear or side clearance is limited.

Suitable for

• Data center and server rack cable runs where space and airflow are critical
• Network cabinets and behind-wall equipment with limited clearance
• Patching between switches, patch panels and network appliances in dense deployments
• Short horizontal or vertical connections in telecom closets and distribution frames

Key specifications

• Cable length: 0.25 m
• Cable diameter: slimline 3.6 mm (typical for slim Cat6a)
• Cable type: U/UTP (unshielded with overall braid/foil not present) LSZH jacket
• Conductors: 28 AWG full copper
• Connectors: RJ45 straight to RJ45 90° angled up
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plating
• Standards: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D (Cat6a)
• Color: Black

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 end to the network device or patch panel port and route the 90° angled up connector into the target port where vertical or upward exit is required. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends near the connector boot and respect the reduced bend radius to maintain performance. Use appropriate cable management (ties, organizers, channels) to secure the slimline cable and preserve airflow in racks.

Recommendations

The cable is intended for short patching runs (0.25 m) in high-density environments; avoid excessive tensile force when installing, keep within ANSI/TIA bend and insertion guidelines, and use in indoor networking environments where LSZH materials are required.
