ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable 0.25 m with RJ45 90° down to RJ45 90° down, black

ACT CAT6A U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 0.25 m, is a compact Ethernet patch cord designed for dense installations. The cable has a reduced outer diameter of 3.6 mm and features two RJ45 connectors angled 90° down, enabling space-saving terminations in network cabinets, server racks and behind equipment while supporting 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance.

Advantages

The slim 3.6 mm jacket improves airflow inside racks and cabinets compared with standard thicker CAT6A cords, and the LSZH jacket reduces the risk of high concentrations of toxic gases if the cable is damaged by fire. Full copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts ensure reliable connectivity and compliance with ANSI/TIA-568.2-D for high-speed data transmission.

Suitable for

• High-density server racks and network cabinets where cable space is limited
• Horizontal patching and short equipment connections (0.25 m)
• Installations requiring right-angle downward terminations behind devices or in shallow panels
• 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PoE applications up to specified power

When it may not be suitable

This 0.25 m slimline patch cable is intended for short patch runs and connections where space is constrained; it is not suitable as a permanent horizontal cable for longer distances. If your installation requires shielding for high electromagnetic interference environments, an unshielded U/UTP cable may not provide the needed protection.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6A U/UTP (unshielded twisted pair)
• Length: 0.25 m
• Outer diameter: 3.6 mm
• Conductor: full copper, 28 AWG
• Connector type: RJ45 90° angled down to RJ45 90° angled down
• Contacts: 50 µin gold-plated
• Jacket material: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen)
• Standard compliance: ANSI/TIA-568.2-D
• Colour: Black
• Supports: 10 Gigabit Ethernet, Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 30 W

How to use

Route the slimline cable through the cabinet or behind equipment to the required connection point and insert the RJ45 90° down connectors into the corresponding ports. The right-angle down orientation helps maintain a small bend radius and reduces stress on ports in tight spaces. Use the cable for short patch connections between switches, patch panels and devices; avoid stretching or repeated sharp bends beyond the rated bend radius.

What to consider before purchase

• Required cable length — this product is 0.25 m and intended for short patching
• Whether an unshielded U/UTP cable is sufficient for your EMI environment
• Need for downward right-angle connectors versus other connector orientations
• Compatibility with PoE power requirements of your devices

Usage recommendations

Use this slimline CAT6A LSZH patch cable for short, high-density connections in racks and cabinets where space and airflow are priorities. Avoid using it for long permanent runs or in environments that require shielded cabling.
