ACT Black 1 meter 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, 1 m, features a compact 3.6 mm outer diameter and two RJ45 90° angled up connectors. Designed for Cat6a performance, the cable supports high‑speed Ethernet and 10 Gigabit applications over unshielded wiring while the LSZH jacket limits smoke and toxic gas emission in case of fire. The slim design and reduced bend radius improve airflow and routing in racks, cabinets and behind equipment.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm diameter reduces cable bulk and allows denser routing in server racks and network cabinets, improving airflow and cable management. Two 90° angled up RJ45 connectors enable neat termination in confined spaces without compromising the cable bend radius. The cable uses full copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated contacts for reliable signal transmission, and the LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire. The cable is manufactured and tested to meet the ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D Cat6a performance standard.

Suitable for

• High‑density rack and cabinet installations where space is limited
• Patch panels, top‑of‑rack switches and equipment with tight rear clearance
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and other Cat6a network links over U/UTP

When it may not be suitable

The unshielded U/UTP design is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be required. Also, the fixed 90° angled up connectors may not fit every orientation or port location; alternative connector orientations (straight, down, left or right) should be chosen if required.

• Supported data rates: up to 10 Gbps (Cat6a)
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 30 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Route the slimline patch cable between devices, patch panels or switches ensuring the 90° angled up connectors align with the device port orientation. Insert each RJ45 plug fully until the latch engages. Avoid tight bends beyond the specified bend radius and secure cable runs to maintain airflow in racks. For long‑term installations, verify link performance after installation by testing the connection at the required network speed.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that a 90° angled up connector fits the device port location and orientation
• Confirm that an unshielded U/UTP cable is appropriate for the installation environment
• Check required cable length and whether a 1 m patch cable is sufficient

Recommendations

Use these slimline Cat6a LSZH patch cables for dense rack or cabinet installations to improve airflow and reduce cable congestion; choose alternative connector orientations if port access or cable routing requires it.
