ACT Black 1 meter U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled right to straight

ACT Black 1m Cat6A U/UTP slimline patch cable with LSZH jacket is a 1 metre straight-through network cable designed for high-speed data transmission in dense rack and cabinet environments. The cable uses 28AWG full copper conductors and 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts and meets ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D standards. One end has a straight RJ45 connector and the other a 90° right-angled RJ45, reducing required clearance while preserving the cable's bend radius.

Advantages

The slimline 3.6 mm diameter reduces space usage compared with standard Cat6A cables, improving airflow in server racks and network cabinets. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire. Gold-plated contacts and full copper conductors ensure reliable conductivity and signal integrity. The right-angled to straight connector combination allows neat routing in confined spaces without compromising performance.

Suitable for

• Patching in dense server racks and data centre cabinets
• Connections behind network equipment with limited clearance
• Horizontal and vertical cable management in office and telecom rooms
• Installations requiring low-smoke cabling (LSZH)

How to use

Route the cable between your network device and patch panel or switch, orienting the 90° right-angled connector toward the tight side to minimise protrusion. Ensure bend radius is preserved during installation; avoid sharp kinks and do not exceed the manufacturer's recommended bend limits. Plug the RJ45 connectors into the appropriate ports until they click to secure the connection.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow and serviceability in data centres, use slimline patch cables for high-density areas and maintain clear labelling. Avoid running the cable parallel to high-power electrical lines to reduce potential interference, and replace cables showing visible damage to the jacket or connectors.
