Patch cable ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline 0.25 m with RJ45 90° right to straight, black

The ACT CAT6A U/FTP LSZH Slimline 0.25 m patch cable is a shielded network lead designed for high‑speed 10GbE connections in space‑constrained environments. With a reduced outer diameter of 3.8 mm and a LSZH jacket, the cable improves airflow in racks and cabinets while lowering the risk of toxic gas emission in case of fire. One end has a 90° right‑angled RJ45 plug and the other a straight RJ45 plug, making it suitable for connections behind equipment and in patch panels where clearance is limited.

Advantages

The slimline construction and smaller bend radius enable denser cabling and better rack airflow compared with standard CAT6A cords. Full copper 32AWG conductors and 50 µin gold‑plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable signal transmission and corrosion resistance. The LSZH jacket reduces hazardous smoke and halogen release in emergency situations. Cables are fully tested and comply with international standards.

Suitable for

• Short patch connections in server racks and network cabinets
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet links where space is limited
• Connections behind network appliances, switches, and patch panels

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m patch cable is intended for short interconnects and is not suitable where longer reach is required. The slim 3.8 mm diameter and 32AWG conductors are optimized for space and airflow rather than maximum mechanical robustness; in environments with heavy mechanical stress or frequent flexing a standard, thicker cable may be preferable.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A U/FTP (shielded)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Outer jacket diameter: 3.8 mm
• Conductor: full copper, 32AWG
• Contacts: 50 µin gold‑plated RJ45 contacts
• Jacket material: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Connector configuration: RJ45 90° angled (right) to RJ45 straight
• Color: Black

How to use

Route the slimline cable between the two network ports to be connected, inserting the 90° right‑angled plug where clearance behind equipment is limited and the straight plug into patch panels or switch ports. Ensure connectors are fully engaged and that the cable is not pinched by enclosure panels. Maintain gentle bend radii and avoid sharp kinks to preserve signal performance.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.25 m for short links
• Space constraints — angled connector suits tight rear clearance
• Environmental safety — LSZH jacket reduces toxic smoke and halogen release
• Mechanical stress — slim 32AWG conductors are less robust than thicker alternatives

Usage recommendations

Use the 90° right‑angled end in tight rear‑of‑rack positions to reduce connector strain and improve cable management; keep the cable runs short and avoid sharp bends to maintain 10GbE performance.
