ACT Black 2 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled down to 90° angled down

ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH slimline patch cable, 2 m long, with RJ45 90° down connectors on both ends. The cable features a reduced outer diameter to improve airflow in racks and cabinets while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance and Power over Ethernet up to 30 W. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire. Conductors are full copper 28AWG and contacts are gold-plated for reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

The slimline design (3.6 mm outer diameter) and smaller bend radius save space and enable neater cable routing in server racks and network cabinets. Two 90° down RJ45 connectors allow installation close to equipment or behind devices where vertical clearance is limited. LSZH jacket provides enhanced safety in enclosed environments, and 50 µ gold-plated contacts with full copper conductors ensure consistent electrical performance and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

This slimline U/UTP cable is not shielded, so it may not be appropriate in environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is required. Also, the thinner jacket and reduced diameter prioritize space and airflow over maximum mechanical robustness; in installations with heavy physical stress or repeated flexing a standard-diameter, more rugged cable could be preferable.

Key specifications

How to use

Route the slimline patch cable between your patch panel, switch, or network device making sure the 90° down connectors align with the rear or side ports to minimize protrusion. Insert each RJ45 plug firmly until the latch clicks. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and do not subject the cable to excessive pulling or crushing. For best airflow, arrange cables along cable management channels or behind equipment to keep the rack interior tidy.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use these slimline Cat6A LSZH cables in dense rack setups and behind equipment where space is limited; combine with proper cable management to maintain airflow and follow bend-radius guidelines to preserve signal performance.
