ACT Black 2 m U/FTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled right to straight

ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 2 m, with an RJ45 90° angled right connector on one end and an RJ45 straight connector on the other. The slimline design reduces outer diameter to 3.8 mm compared with standard CAT6A cables, improving airflow in racks and network cabinets. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and full-copper 32 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated contacts and conforms to international standards. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of dense toxic smoke if the cable is damaged by fire or overheating.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm jacket and smaller bend radius allow neater cable routing in crowded cabinets and behind equipment while maintaining Cat6A performance for 10 Gbps networks. One end features a 90° right-angled RJ45 plug to save space at patch panels or devices with limited clearance; the other end is a straight RJ45 plug for standard connections. The LSZH sheath provides reduced smoke and halogen-free properties, and the cable is built with full-copper conductors and gold-plated contacts for reliable signal transmission.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline cable is optimized for short runs and space-constrained routing; for long outdoor runs, industrial installations, or situations that demand extra mechanical protection, a thicker jacket or armored cable may be more appropriate. Also, if angled connector orientation other than 90° right is required, choose a different variant (up, down, or left angled).

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 plug to the device or patch panel where clearance allows and insert the 90° right-angled RJ45 plug where space is limited or where a flush routing is needed. Ensure connectors are fully seated until they click and avoid sharp bends near the connector boots. Route the cable to maintain the manufacturer's recommended bend radius and support the cable within the rack to prevent strain on the plugs.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this ACT Cat6A U/FTP slimline patch cable for tidy, high-density cabinet installations and short 10 Gbps patch connections. Avoid excessive bending and secure the cable to prevent connector strain.
