ACT Black 0.5 m U/FTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled left to straight

ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 0.5 m, with an RJ45 90° angled left connector to an RJ45 straight connector in black. The cable is designed for Cat6A networks with shielded U/FTP construction, full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µm gold-plated contacts, and features a slim 3.8 mm outer jacket to improve airflow in racks and cabinets. The LSZH jacket reduces the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases in case of fire or cable damage.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm diameter and smaller bend radius allow denser cable routing and better ventilation in network cabinets compared with standard Cat6A patch cords. Shielded U/FTP construction and gold‑plated contacts ensure stable performance for high‑speed 10GbE connections. The combination of a 90° angled left connector and a straight connector makes the cable suitable for installations with limited space behind equipment or in patch panels.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This 0.5 m slimline patch cable is intended for short links and dense rack routing; it is not suitable as a long‑run horizontal cable or in setups that require thicker, more ruggedized cabling for physical abuse or outdoor use. The slim 3.8 mm jacket reduces bulk but offers the same electrical performance as Cat6A; if you need extra mechanical protection, choose a cable with a thicker jacket.

Key specifications

How to use

Plug the straight RJ45 end into the switch, patch panel or network port and insert the 90° angled left RJ45 end into the device positioned close to walls or adjacent equipment. Ensure both connectors are fully seated until the latch clicks. Route the cable following the rack’s cable management paths to maintain the small bend radius and preserve airflow. Avoid sharp bends or kinks and keep the cable away from sources of heat or mechanical wear.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH slimline patch cable for short 10GbE links in densely packed racks or cabinets; route along cable trays and avoid tight kinks to maintain signal integrity and airflow.
