One of the most popular cabling types used in businesses today is the Ethernet cable. This cable uses pairs of internal wires twisted together to provide fast data communication and resistance to electro-magnetic interference.

But what happens when you need an Ethernet cable to turn an abrupt right angle, as in tight spaces like wiring closets and drop locations? Bending the cable at too tight an angle will flatten the internal pairs, resulting in slower data speed and possible loss of data due to cross talk and return loss. 

L-com’s solution to this problem is the right-angle Ethernet cable.  The patent-pending channelized pair guide used in this cable ensures that the delicate twisting is maintained through the right-angle, guaranteeing Category 5e and Category 6 compliance for high-speed Ethernet connectivity.

Most applications for right-angle Ethernet cables require only one end of the cable to be at a right angle. But L-com goes beyond this to offer four directions of exit along with a multitude of colors so you can color-code your wiring scheme to save time and headaches. Variations of this cable include:

Straight to up-angle	Down-angle to down-angle	Left-angle to straight
Straight to right-angle	Left-angle to right-angle	Left-angle to left-angle
