Adapter 45x45 2xRJ45 convex angular Alantec OS022 — 2-port RJ45 angled adapter

Alantec OS022 is a compact 45x45 mm convex angled adapter with two RJ45 ports designed to provide an angled connection between two Ethernet cables in tight or confined spaces. Its low-profile convex design reduces strain at cable exits and enables neat routing behind equipment, inside junction boxes, or in shallow wall mounts while maintaining signal continuity for standard Ethernet connections.

Advantages

The adapter's 45x45 mm convex shape minimizes protrusion and helps protect cable jackets and connectors from sharp bends. Two integrated RJ45 ports allow a direct in-line connection without additional patch cords, reducing clutter. The angled orientation eases access in recessed panels and behind equipment, maintaining reliable contact for Cat5e/Cat6 cable assemblies where space constraints require an offset connection.

Suitable for

• Routing Ethernet cables behind routers, switches, or AV equipment in cramped racks
• Making angled terminations inside junction boxes or shallow wall plates
• Temporary or permanent inline connections where straight couplers do not fit
• Environments where reduced cable strain and neat cable exit are required

Key specifications

• Form factor: convex, angled adapter with compact 45 × 45 mm face
• Connectivity: two RJ45 female ports for Ethernet cable coupling
• Orientation: angled coupling to change cable exit direction and reduce bend radius
• Compatibility: fits standard 8P8C (RJ45) connectors and typical Cat5e/Cat6 patch cords
• Material: durable plastic housing designed for mechanical protection of connectors

How to use

Insert the RJ45 plug of one Ethernet cable into one port of the adapter and insert the second cable's RJ45 plug into the opposite port until each latch clicks into place. Position the adapter so that the angled exit aligns with the desired cable routing path. For installations in junction boxes or behind devices, ensure the adapter's convex face clears surrounding fittings and that cable bend radius is maintained to avoid signal degradation.

Recommendations

Use the adapter with properly terminated and tested Ethernet cables. Avoid applying excessive axial or lateral force to connected plugs; secure cables where possible to reduce mechanical stress. For permanent structured cabling, consider whether a recessed or panel-mounted solution is preferable to repeated use of inline adapters.
