ACT Cat6a Slimline U/UTP LSZH patch cable 0.15 m with RJ45 90° down to 90° down, black

ACT Cat6a Slimline U/UTP LSZH patch cable, 0.15 m, with RJ45 connectors angled 90° down on both ends. The cable uses unshielded pair construction and a Low Smoke Zero Halogen jacket. Its slim 3.6 mm diameter and reduced bend radius make it suitable for high-speed 10GbE patching in confined spaces such as server racks, patch panels and behind equipment, while gold‑plated contacts and full copper 28AWG conductors ensure reliable signal transmission.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm outer diameter improves airflow in cabinets compared with standard thicker CAT6A cords and the smaller bend radius allows neat routing in tight spaces. Both ends feature 90° down RJ45 connectors to reduce strain and save horizontal space. The LSZH jacket lowers the risk of toxic smoke in case of fire, and 50 µin gold-plated contacts with full copper 28AWG conductors provide consistent connectivity and corrosion resistance. The cable is manufactured and tested to conform with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D.

Suitable for

• 10GbE patching in data centers and server rooms
• Connections in network cabinets and patch panels with limited clearance
• Short interconnects behind equipment where space is constrained

When it may not be suitable

This unshielded U/UTP cable is not intended for environments with high electromagnetic interference where shielded cable (STP/FTP) would be preferable. Its short 0.15 m length is designed for close-range patching; it is not suitable where longer cable runs are required.

Key specifications

• Category: Cat6a U/UTP
• Length: 0.15 m
• Outer diameter: 3.6 mm
• Conductor: solid full copper, 28 AWG
• Contacts: 50 µin gold-plated RJ45
• Connectors: RJ45 90° angled down — RJ45 90° angled down
• Jacket: Low Smoke Zero Halogen (LSZH)
• Standards: compliant with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
• Power over Ethernet: supports PoE up to 30 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Insert each RJ45 90° down connector into corresponding network ports on patch panels, switches or devices, ensuring proper orientation so the angled plug fits the available clearance. Use the cable for short patching between closely spaced ports or for connections directly behind equipment. Avoid excessive bending beyond the cable's specified bend radius and secure cables to prevent strain on connectors.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — 0.15 m is suitable only for very short connections
• Environment electromagnetic conditions — choose shielded cable if EMI is a concern
• Port orientation and space constraints — angled-down connectors must match rack or device layout

Usage recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a patch cable for short, high-density patching in racks and cabinets where improved airflow and minimal cable bulk are priorities; avoid stretching or sharply bending the cable and verify connector orientation before insertion.
