Patch cable ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline 5 m with RJ45 90° right to straight, black

ACT Slimline patch cable Cat6A U/FTP, 5 m long, with LSZH jacket and gold‑plated RJ45 connectors: a 90° right‑angled plug at one end and a straight plug at the other. The slim 3.8 mm diameter and reduced bend radius make this cable suitable for dense rack and cabinet installations, while shielding and full‑copper conductors support reliable 10 Gb Ethernet performance.

Advantages

The slimline design improves airflow in server racks and network cabinets by reducing cable bulk. U/FTP shielding and full copper 32AWG conductors provide effective protection against electromagnetic interference. The LSZH jacket limits toxic smoke and halogen release in case of fire. Gold‑plated RJ45 contacts ensure stable connections and corrosion resistance.

Suitable for

• 10 Gb Ethernet connections in data centers and server racks
• Tidy installations behind switches and patch panels where space is limited
• Office and home networks requiring shielded cables for EMI protection

When it may not be suitable

Because of its slim 3.8 mm diameter and 32AWG conductors, this cable is optimized for routing in dense installations rather than for very long runs where thicker gauge conductors may reduce attenuation. It is also a shielded cable and requires compatible, properly grounded equipment to obtain the full benefit of the U/FTP construction.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A U/FTP (shielded)
• Length: 5 m
• Outer diameter: 3.8 mm
• Conductor: full copper, 32AWG
• Contacts: 50 µin gold plating
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Connector type: RJ45 straight to RJ45 90° right‑angled
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect the straight RJ45 end to the network device or patch panel and the 90° right‑angled end where clearance is limited or where a low‑profile exit is required. Ensure connector orientation matches port alignment to avoid strain. For shielded performance, verify that system components provide proper grounding and that shield connections are intact.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length and whether 5 m suits the planned routing
• Need for shielded cable and compatible grounded equipment
• Whether a right‑angled to straight connector configuration fits the available ports
• Preference for LSZH jacket in environments where reduced smoke/halogen is important

Usage recommendations

Route cables with gentle bends respecting the reduced bend radius; avoid tight kinks. Use in dense cabinet installations to improve airflow and maintain organized cable runs. Confirm grounding of shielded components to ensure optimal EMI protection.
