ACT Black 3 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled up to straight

The ACT Black 3m RJ45 Cat6A U/UTP is a slimline LSZH patch cable designed for data centers and network cabinets. At 3 meters long, it uses 28AWG full-copper conductors, meets the Cat6A standard and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, and features 50µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The cable has a reduced diameter (3.6 mm) compared with standard Cat6A cords, which lowers the bend radius and improves airflow in racks and cabinets. This model is fitted with one straight RJ45 connector and one 90° angled up RJ45 connector and is finished in black.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm diameter and smaller bend radius save space and allow neater routing in dense installations while improving ventilation. The LSZH jacket limits the release of toxic gases in the event of fire. Full copper 28AWG conductors and 50µ gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion-resistant terminations. Compliance with Cat6A and ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standards guarantees performance for high-speed Ethernet applications.

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cabinet, taking advantage of the reduced diameter to pass through tight spaces and cable management channels. Plug the straight RJ45 end into the network switch or patch panel and the 90° angled up RJ45 end into equipment with limited rear clearance. Avoid sharp bends beyond the specified bend radius and secure the cable with appropriate ties or management clips to prevent strain on connectors.

Recommendations

For optimal airflow and serviceability in high-density racks, use slimline Cat6A patch cables like this ACT 3m model for horizontal and patching runs. When routing behind equipment, choose the angled orientation (up, down, left or right) that best matches your cabinet layout. Ensure cable ties are not overtightened to avoid deforming the slim jacket.
