ACT Black 5 meters U/UTP CAT6A LSZH Slimline patch cable with RJ45 connectors 90° angled down to straight

ACT Black 5m RJ45 CAT6A U/UTP slimline patch cable with LSZH jacket is a 5-metre straight-through network cable designed for data centre and cabinet use. The slim 3.6 mm diameter and reduced bend radius improve airflow and routing in dense installations. The cable features a straight RJ45 connector and a 90° angled down RJ45 connector, 28 AWG full copper conductors and 50 µ gold-plated contacts, and meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D Cat6a standard.

Advantages

The slimline construction requires less space than standard CAT6A patch cords and allows tighter bends while maintaining performance. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic smoke and corrosive gases in case of fire. Gold-plated contacts and full-copper 28 AWG conductors provide reliable connectivity and signal integrity. The straight-to-90° down connector combination simplifies connections in tight rear-cabinet or equipment spaces.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data centre cable management
• Network cabinets and patch panels with limited rear clearance
• Connections behind network equipment and switches
• Structured cabling installations requiring Cat6a performance

How to use

Route the cable through the rack or cabinet using the reduced diameter to optimize space and airflow. Plug the straight RJ45 end into the device or switch port and the 90° angled down end into the patch panel or recessed port to minimize rear clearance. Ensure connectors are fully seated; avoid excessive pulling or twisting. Maintain recommended bend radius around cable management hardware to preserve performance.

Recommendations

For best results in dense installations, use the slimline CAT6A patch cable where rear clearance is limited and pair with standard patch panels or switches that accept angled connectors. Avoid sharp bends tighter than the cable's bend radius and keep cable runs within the 5 m length for predictable performance.
