Tight-space Cat6 patch cable

This 3 ft Cat6 cable uses an up-angled RJ45 plug on one end and a straight plug on the other to fit behind desks, wall plates or dense patch panels. The angled end reduces bend radius stress on the copper conductors. It is built for gigabit Ethernet links in rack, office or home networks. Both ends are fully moulded for strain relief.

Snap-in installation with one angled end

Press each RJ45 plug into its port until the latch clicks; the straight end behaves like any standard patch lead. The up-angled plug needs vertical clearance above the port, so check that adjacent cables or chassis lips do not block it. Stranded conductors make the cable flexible, but sharp kinks during routing can still degrade performance. Moulded boots protect the latch from snapping off.

Cat6 channel limits apply

The link follows Cat6 specifications, so the permanent link and channel length rules for gigabit Ethernet govern the maximum run when this patch cord is combined with horizontal cable. Exceeding the total channel budget introduces return-loss and crosstalk margins that can cause errors. RoHS compliance confirms restricted-substance adherence but does not alter electrical limits.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the cable is passing gigabit speeds after plugging it in?

Check the link lights on both network ports — they should show a 1 Gbps connection — then run a local file transfer or speed test to confirm throughput matches your network plan.

What comes with the N204-003-BL-UP and do I need any extra connectors?

The package contains the single 3 ft Cat6 patch cable with an up-angled RJ45 plug on one end and a straight RJ45 plug on the other; no additional connectors or adapters are required.

When should I choose this up-angled version instead of a straight or down-angled cable?

Pick the up-angled model when the port sits low and the cable must route upward — such as a bottom-row switch port or a wall jack near the floor — to avoid sharp bends.
