ACT Cat6a U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable 2 m with 90° angled RJ45 connectors, black

ACT Cat6a U/UTP LSZH Slimline patch cable, 2 m, with 90° angled RJ45 connectors in black. This Cat6a U/UTP slimline cable has a reduced outer diameter (approximately 3.6 mm) compared with standard Cat6a patch cords, improving airflow in server racks and network cabinets while supporting high-speed 10GbE LAN connections. The cable uses full copper 28AWG conductors and 50 µin gold-plated RJ45 contacts and meets the ANSI/TIA-568.2-D standard.

Advantages

The slimline construction and smaller bend radius allow routing in confined spaces without excessive cable stress, while two 90° angled up RJ45 plugs keep connectors close to equipment. An LSZH jacket reduces the release of toxic gases in case of fire or cable damage. The cable is 100% tested and intended for reliable network patching in racks, cabinets, workstations and typical office or home installations.

Suitable for

• Patch panels and dense server rack installations where space and airflow matter
• Network cabinets and equipment with limited clearance behind ports
• High-speed Ethernet connections up to 10GbE
• Office and home network patching between switches, routers and workstations

When it may not be suitable

This U/UTP (UTP) Cat6a slimline cable is not intended for environments that require additional shielding against electromagnetic interference; in such cases a shielded cable (FTP/STP) should be chosen. It is also not suitable where mechanical protection or thicker cable diameter is needed for heavy-duty installations.

Key specifications

• Cable category: Cat6a U/UTP (UTP)
• Length: 2 m
• Conductor: solid/full copper, 28 AWG
• Connector type: RJ45 angled 90° up – RJ45 angled 90° up
• Contact plating: 50 µin gold
• Outer jacket: LSZH (Low Smoke Zero Halogen), approx. 3.6 mm diameter
• Supports: 10GbE Ethernet and PoE up to 30 W
• Colour: Black

How to use

Connect each 90° angled RJ45 plug into the corresponding RJ45 ports on network equipment, switches or patch panels. Route the slimline cable through cable channels or behind devices ensuring the bend radius is not exceeded; the angled plugs help when clearance behind ports is limited. Verify link and network operation after installation.

What to consider before purchase

• Whether a slimline unshielded cable meets your EMI environment requirements or a shielded cable is needed
• Required cable length and whether 2 m is sufficient for your routing
• Compatibility of 90° angled up connectors with equipment port orientation and clearance
• Need for LSZH jacket in installations where low smoke and halogen-free properties are required

Usage recommendations

Use this slimline Cat6a patch cable for neat, high-density rack and cabinet patching where airflow and limited rear clearance are priorities. Avoid sharp kinks and maintain recommended bend radius to preserve performance.
