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

The ACT Black 5m RJ45 CAT6A U/UTP is a slimline Cat6a patch cable with a 5 meter cable length and a black LSZH jacket. Its reduced diameter (3.6 mm) and smaller bend radius compared with standard Cat6a cords improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets. The cable is fitted with a straight RJ45 connector and a 90° angled up RJ45 connector, and is available in other angled variants for tight spaces. The conductors are full copper 28 AWG and the RJ45 contacts are gold-plated 50 µ, meeting ANSI/TIA-568.2-D requirements.

Advantages

The slimline U/UTP construction lowers cable bulk and allows denser cable routing while maintaining Cat6a performance. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen release in case of fire. Gold-plated RJ45 contacts and full-copper 28 AWG wires provide reliable signal transmission and contact durability. The straight-to-90° connector combination saves space behind equipment without compromising the required bend radius.

Suitable for

• Data centres and server racks where airflow and space are critical
• Network cabinets and patch panels with limited rear clearance
• Horizontal or vertical cable runs in office and equipment rooms
• Applications requiring Cat6a performance and reduced cable diameter

Key specifications

• Conductor: full copper, 28 AWG
• Connectors: straight RJ45 to 90° angled up RJ45
• Contacts: 50 µ gold plating
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Standard: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D, Cat6a
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 end to a network switch, NIC or patch panel and the 90° angled up RJ45 end to the device with limited rear clearance. Route the cable through racks or cable channels, keeping bend radii reasonable around corners and equipment. Use cable management accessories as needed to maintain airflow and avoid sharp kinks.

Recommendations

For optimal performance in dense installations, avoid tight pinches and maintain the cable's minimum bend radius; use the angled connector variant that matches your equipment orientation (up, down, left or right) and secure cables to preserve airflow in racks and cabinets.
