What is a 90-degree angle patch cord?

A 90-degree angle patch cord is a type of Ethernet cable that has a connector on one end that is bent at a 90-degree angle. This design allows the cable to connect to devices that are located in tight spaces or have limited clearance, such as in server racks or behind desks. The cable typically has a standard RJ45 connector on one end and a 90-degree angled connector on the other end. It is typically used to connect network devices such as computers, routers, and switches.

90-degree angle patch cord allows the cable to be plugged in without having to bend the cable which can cause damage to the cable over time. This patch cord also allows for a less bulky and more organized cable management in tight spaces.

They are available in different lengths and categories (cat5, cat6, cat7) and are generally compatible with most network devices.
