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

ACT Black 2m RJ45 Cat6a U/UTP slimline patch cable is a 2‑metre, LSZH‑jacketed Cat6a straight-through cable with reduced diameter for improved cable routing in racks and cabinets. It features one straight RJ45 connector and one 90° angled up RJ45 connector, 28AWG full copper conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated contacts, meeting ANSI/TIA‑568.2‑D performance requirements.

Advantages

The slimline 3.6 mm cable diameter and smaller bend radius allow denser cable management and better airflow in server racks and network cabinets compared with standard 5.9 mm Cat6a cords. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire. Gold‑plated 50 µin RJ45 contacts and full copper 28AWG wires provide reliable signal transmission and improved durability. The straight-to-90° connector configuration enables connections where space is limited without compromising cable bend limits.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks
• Network cabinets and wall-mounted equipment
• Patching between switches and servers where space is restricted
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6a performance

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 end to your network device or patch panel and route the 90° angled end to the space‑limited port on switches, servers or other equipment. Ensure connectors are fully inserted until they click. When routing the cable through racks or behind equipment, observe the reduced bend radius but avoid sharp kinks. Use cable management accessories to maintain tidy runs and preserve signal integrity.

Recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a patch cable in dense rack environments or tight spaces where maintaining airflow and respecting bend radius are important. Avoid excessive bending beyond the cable’s recommended radius and install in accordance with standard structured cabling practices.
