ACT Black 0.5 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled up to 90° angled up

ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 0.5 m, with RJ45 90° angled up connectors in black. This slimline Cat6A cable uses unshielded pairs (U/UTP) and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket to reduce toxic smoke in the event of fire. The cable has a reduced outer diameter for improved airflow in racks and cabinets and is fitted with gold-plated RJ45 contacts and full copper 28AWG conductors for reliable connections up to Cat6A performance.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm jacket reduces cable bulk and allows a smaller bend radius without increasing stress on the conductor, improving airflow and space management in server racks and network cabinets. LSZH material lowers the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases if the cable is exposed to fire or severe overheating. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and full copper 28AWG wires support stable Ethernet connections and compliance with Cat6A performance requirements.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP unshielded cable is not the best choice for installations with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be preferable. The slim 3.6 mm diameter is optimized for tight spaces and airflow but may be less robust mechanically than thicker jacketed cables in environments with frequent physical stress.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect each RJ45 90° angled plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on your equipment, patch panel or switch. The 90° up orientation is suitable for ports positioned close to cabinet rails or equipment surfaces; route the cable following rack airflow paths and avoid sharp bends beyond the rated bend radius. Verify link and speed settings on connected devices after installation.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6A patch cable for short, high-density connections in racks and cabinets where preserving airflow and minimizing cable diameter are priorities; avoid routing through areas with heavy mechanical wear or strong electromagnetic interference.
