Patch cable ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline 0.15 m with RJ45 90° left to straight, black

ACT Slimline CAT6A U/FTP LSZH patch cable, 0.15 m long, designed for high-speed 10GbE connections in dense rack and cabinet environments. The cable has a reduced outer diameter of 3.8 mm and smaller bend radius compared with standard CAT6A cords, improving airflow and making it suitable for compact patch panels and short interconnections. It is fitted with a straight RJ45 connector on one end and a 90° angled left RJ45 connector on the other, and features full-copper 32 AWG conductors with 50 µ gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The LSZH jacket limits smoke and halogen release in case of fire or damage.

Advantages

The slim 3.8 mm jacket and reduced bend radius save space and improve cabinet airflow without compromising signal integrity. Foil-shielded U/FTP construction and full-copper 32 AWG conductors support reliable 10GbE performance, while 50 µ gold-plated contacts ensure corrosion resistance and stable connectivity. The LSZH outer jacket reduces the risk of toxic gas emission in fire scenarios.

Suitable for

• Short interconnections in data centers and server rooms
• Compact patch panels and high-density network cabinets
• Connections behind equipment where space is limited

When it may not be suitable

This 0.15 m slimline cable is intended for short, local connections and is not suitable for long-distance links. Environments requiring unshielded cabling or different connector orientations (for example angled up, down or right) may need another cable variant.

Key specifications

• Standard: Cat6A U/FTP (foil-shielded with individually braided pairs)
• Length: 0.15 m
• Conductor: full copper, 32 AWG
• Connector configuration: RJ45 90° angled left to RJ45 straight
• Contact plating: 50 µ gold-plated contacts
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert the straight RJ45 plug into the corresponding port on the switch or patch panel and place the 90° angled left RJ45 into the device or panel requiring a low-profile connection. Route the slim cable along cabinet guides or cable managers, avoiding sharp bends that exceed the cable's bend radius. Use this short patch cable for direct port-to-port connections inside racks, patch panels and behind networked equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 0.15 m is sufficient for the intended connection
• Connector orientation—this product is angled left to straight; other orientations are available separately
• Need for shielded cabling (U/FTP) and LSZH jacket for safety or compliance

Usage recommendations

For best results in high-density rack environments, use slimline CAT6A cables like this ACT model to reduce cable bulk and improve airflow, and choose the connector orientation that matches your panel layout to minimise strain on ports.
