ACT CAT6A U/FTP Slimline Patch Cable 1m, RJ45 90° Angled Down to Straight, Black, LSZH

The ACT CAT6A U/FTP Slimline patch cable is a high-performance networking solution designed for modern data centers and professional server environments. Measuring 1 meter in length, this cable features a specialized design with one straight RJ45 connector and one 90° angled down RJ45 connector, making it an excellent choice for installations where space is at a premium. The slimline construction, with an outer diameter of only 3.8mm, significantly improves airflow within crowded network cabinets compared to standard patch cords.

Advantages

This cable offers superior flexibility and ease of installation in tight spaces, allowing for clean cable management without putting excessive stress on the bend radius. The use of full copper 32AWG conductors ensures reliable data transmission, while the 50µ gold-plated contacts provide optimal signal integrity and corrosion resistance. Furthermore, the LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket enhances safety by minimizing the release of toxic gases in the event of a fire, making it suitable for environments with strict safety regulations.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets
• Connecting equipment in confined spaces behind furniture or panels
• Professional data center environments requiring improved airflow
• Applications where cable flexibility and space-saving are critical

When it may not be suitable

This cable may not be the optimal choice for long-distance runs or outdoor installations, as it is specifically engineered for short-range patching within controlled indoor environments. Additionally, the 90° angled connector may not be compatible with all port orientations, so users should verify the required angle before installation.

Key specifications

• Cable length: 1 meter
• Standard: CAT6A U/FTP
• Connector 1: RJ45 90° angled down
• Connector 2: RJ45 straight
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Wire gauge: 32AWG full copper
• Contact plating: 50µ gold
• Outer diameter: 3.8mm

How to use

To install the cable, insert the straight RJ45 connector into your network switch or patch panel port. Connect the 90° angled down RJ45 connector to your networking device, ensuring the angle is oriented correctly to avoid strain on the port. The slim design allows for easy routing through cable management systems, helping to maintain an organized and efficient rack layout.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required orientation of the angled connector (down, up, left, or right) for your specific hardware
• Ensure the 1-meter length is sufficient for your intended connection path
• Confirm that your network equipment supports CAT6A standards for optimal performance

Usage recommendations

For best results, avoid bending the cable beyond its recommended radius and ensure that the connectors are fully seated in their respective ports to maintain a stable connection. Regularly inspect the cable for signs of physical damage in high-traffic areas.
