ACT Black 1.5 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled left to straight

ACT Black 1.5m RJ45 Cat6a U/UTP slimline patch cable is a 1.5 meter straight-through network cable with a straight RJ45 connector and a 90° angled left RJ45 connector. The cable uses 28 AWG full copper conductors, 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts and an LSZH jacket. Its reduced diameter (3.6 mm) and smaller bend radius improve airflow and routing in server racks and network cabinets while maintaining Cat6a performance and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D.

Advantages

The slimline construction occupies less space than standard Cat6a patch cords, enabling denser cable management and improved airflow. The combination of a straight and 90° left-angled RJ45 connector simplifies connections in confined areas without forcing tight bends. LSZH outer jacket lowers the release of toxic gases in case of fire, and gold-plated contacts provide reliable connectivity and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• Data center and server rack installations
• Network cabinets and patch panels with limited rear clearance
• Connections behind equipment where space is constrained
• High-speed Ethernet links requiring Cat6a performance

How to use

Route the cable from device to patch panel or switch, ensuring the 90° left-angled connector is oriented to match the available clearance. Insert both RJ45 connectors until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate cable management accessories to maintain airflow and reduce stress on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in dense racks, use slimline patch cables for horizontal and patch-panel connections and combine with proper cable management to maintain ventilation; avoid running the cable alongside high-power electrical lines to reduce interference.
