ACT Black 3 m U/FTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled right to straight

ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 3 m, with one straight RJ45 connector and one 90° right-angled RJ45 connector. The cable uses U/FTP shielding and a slim outer diameter to support 10 Gigabit Ethernet while saving space in dense racks and behind equipment. The LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire. Conductors are full copper 32AWG and RJ45 contacts are gold plated.

Advantages

The slimline design (3.8 mm outer diameter) and reduced bend radius improve airflow and cable management in server racks and network cabinets. U/FTP shielding and 50 µin gold-plated contacts provide reliable signal integrity and reduced electromagnetic interference. The LSZH jacket limits toxic smoke and corrosive gases when exposed to heat or fire.

Suitable for

When it may not be suitable

The slim 3.8 mm diameter and 32AWG conductors prioritise flexibility and space savings; they may not be the preferred choice for installations that require maximum mechanical robustness or extremely long cable runs where thicker gauge cables are chosen to reduce attenuation. Also, this specific product uses a right-angled RJ45 on one end and a straight RJ45 on the other, so it may not suit layouts requiring different plug orientations.

Key specifications

How to use

Insert the straight RJ45 connector into the network device or patch panel port and route the 90° right-angled connector to the port with limited rear clearance. Ensure connectors click into place and avoid sharp bends near the plug. Use standard patching practices in rack or cabinet layouts, taking advantage of the reduced diameter to improve routing and airflow.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

For best results in high-density installations, route these slimline CAT6A cables in bundles or horizontal managers to maintain airflow and avoid tight kinks; do not exceed recommended bend radius and keep cable lengths as short as practical for the connection.
