ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable 5 m, RJ45 90° down to RJ45 90° down, black

ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 5 m, with RJ45 connectors angled 90° down on both ends. The cable uses Cat6a unshielded twisted pair wiring with full-copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µ-inch gold-plated RJ45 contacts. The slimline jacket has an outer diameter of approximately 3.6 mm to improve airflow in server racks and network cabinets. The LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen) jacket reduces the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases if the cable is damaged by fire or short circuit.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm diameter and reduced bend radius allow denser cable routing and improved cabinet airflow compared to standard Cat6A cords. Two 90° down RJ45 connectors make this patch cable suitable for tight rear ports and low-clearance equipment without stressing the cable exit angle. Full-copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µ-inch gold-plated contacts ensure reliable signal transfer and corrosion resistance, and the cable is tested to meet ANSI/TIA-568.2-D performance requirements.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets where airflow is important
• Patch panels and equipment with rear-facing or low-clearance ports
• Indoor structured cabling in offices and data centers requiring LSZH materials

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded (U/UTP) Cat6A cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cabling would be preferable. It is designed for indoor use; for outdoor or direct-burial installations choose cables rated for those conditions. The 90° down connectors are optimized for ports with downward clearance—other orientations may be better if different port directions are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6A U/UTP
• Length: 5 m
• Conductor: solid full-copper 28AWG
• Connectors: RJ45 90° down to RJ45 90° down, 50 µ-inch gold plating on contacts
• Jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Outer diameter: approx. 3.6 mm
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 30 W
• Colour: Black
• Standard: conforms to ANSI/TIA-568.2-D

How to use

Connect each RJ45 90° down plug to the corresponding Ethernet port on patch panels, switches or equipment. Route the slimline cable through cable management channels or rack spaces to maintain airflow; avoid sharp bends beyond the recommended bend radius to preserve signal performance. Ensure connectors are fully inserted and latched. For PoE devices, verify power requirements do not exceed the cable’s supported PoE capacity.

What to consider before purchase

• Confirm port orientation and clearance to ensure 90° down connectors fit the installation
• Determine whether unshielded U/UTP is acceptable for your electromagnetic environment
• Verify required cable length and that 5 m matches rack/panel distances
• Check if LSZH jacket is required by building or data center regulations

Usage recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6A LSZH patch cable for dense rack installations and rear-facing ports where improved airflow and minimal exit profile are needed. Maintain gentle bends and secure routing to preserve performance and PoE delivery.
