ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline patch cable 1 m, RJ45 90° left to straight, black

ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 1 m, features a slim 3.8 mm outer diameter jacket and a shielded U/FTP (STP) design. One end has a 90° angled left RJ45 connector and the other end a straight RJ45 connector. The cable uses full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts, and the LSZH jacket reduces smoke and halogen emissions in case of fire or damage.

Advantages

The slimline 3.8 mm diameter and reduced bend radius save space in server racks and network cabinets and improve airflow compared with standard CAT6A patch cords. The U/FTP shielding and full copper conductors support high-speed 10 Gbps Ethernet links while 50 µin gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic smoke and halogen exposure in enclosed installations.

Suitable for

• Server racks and data center patching where space is limited
• Patching behind network equipment and in dense cable runs
• 10 Gbps Ethernet connections and high-speed LAN links
• Installations requiring low-smoke, low-halogen materials

When it may not be suitable

This slimline CAT6A cable is not intended for outdoor use or direct burial; it is designed for indoor structured cabling. In situations where extreme mechanical strain, frequent heavy flexing, or very long runs are expected, a thicker, more rugged cable may be more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a U/FTP (shielded)
• Length: 1 m
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Conductors: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector types: RJ45 90° angled (left) to RJ45 straight
• Contacts: 50 µin gold-plated
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Plug the angled RJ45 connector into patch panel ports or equipment ports where rear clearance is limited, and connect the straight RJ45 connector to the corresponding port on the switch, server, or patch panel. Route the slimline cable through cable management channels or along rack rails to maintain neatness and airflow. Avoid sharp bends beyond the recommended bend radius and do not subject the cable to excessive pulling force when installing.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm a 1 m length fits your rack or equipment layout
• Check that LSZH jacket and Cat6a shielding meet your site safety and performance requirements
• Ensure angled-left to straight connector orientation matches port access and cabling direction

Usage recommendations

For best results in dense racks, use slimline CAT6A patch cables like this ACT model to improve airflow and maintain proper bend radius; combine with organized cable management and avoid excessive stress on connectors for reliable 10 Gbps performance.
