Right-Angle RJ45 Screw-Lock Cable Thumbscrew Cat6A

Right-Angle RJ45 Screw-Lock Cable (90 Degree Thumbscrew Plug, Cat6A S/FTP)

right angle rj45 screw lock cable， the same thumbscrew locking plug as our straight screw-lock cable, but the right-angle plug body turns 90 degrees so the cable leaves the connector sideways instead of straight back. The point is clearance: when a camera, a control box or a switch sits against a wall or inside a shallow enclosure, a straight plug plus its bend radius simply does not fit. Turning the exit sideways also removes the sideways pull on the port that a straight plug hanging under its own weight puts on a receptacle.

Overview

The same thumbscrew locking plug as our straight screw-lock cable, but the right-angle plug body turns 90 degrees so the cable leaves the connector sideways instead of straight back. The point is clearance: when a camera, a control box or a switch sits against a wall or inside a shallow enclosure, a straight plug plus its bend radius simply does not fit. Turning the exit sideways also removes the sideways pull on the port that a straight plug hanging under its own weight puts on a receptacle.

Conductor	26 AWG stranded bare copper, S/FTP
Jacket	High-flex PVC or PUR
Length	OEM build to required length

Construction and Materials

The 90 degree plug is overmoulded around the loaded connector rather than clipped on, so the thumbscrew bosses and the strain relief are part of the same moulding. Inside, the four foil-wrapped pairs and the overall braid are dressed to the exit side with the pair lay maintained as far as the contacts, keeping Class EA performance to 500 MHz. The exit direction – up, down, left or right – is chosen when the build is specified, because the moulding is dedicated to one direction. Conductors are 26 AWG stranded bare copper with S/FTP shielding.

Typical Applications

Cameras and sensors mounted close to a wall, a frame member or a machine guard where straight-back clearance is a few centimetres.
Shallow wall boxes, pole boxes and flush-mounted enclosures.
Robot arm joints and rotary axes where the cable must run along the arm rather than away from it.
Rack and cabinet runs where the port faces a door or a side panel.
Retrofit jobs where the existing straight plug was bent to fit and failed.

Compatibility and Fitment

Mates with any RJ45 receptacle offering 4-40 UNC jackscrew threads, and with a plain RJ45 port where only the latch engages. Straight-through T568B wiring, Category 6A S/FTP, and full support for 10GBASE-T and for PoE to IEEE 802.3af, at and bt. M3 thumbscrew hardware is available. Because the exit direction is moulded in, confirm the required direction against the drawing before ordering.

Custom Builds and Ordering

Length, jacket material, thumbscrew thread (4-40 UNC or M3), plug orientation and exit direction are all configurable. Common builds are listed in the attributes table above; everything else can be specified when requesting a quote. We do not publish a fixed list price because most screw-lock assemblies are quoted to a specific build. Lead time depends on length, quantity and connector tooling.

Packaging and Shipping

Each cable is individually bagged and labelled with part description, length and lot code. Bulk packaging is used for OEM volume orders. Shipments leave our facility within the lead time confirmed on the order acknowledgement.

Quality and Compliance

The 8P8C modular interface follows the IEC 60603-7 series. Channel performance is specified to ISO/IEC 11801 Class EA and TIA-568.2-D Category 6A, with 10GBASE-T defined by IEEE 802.3an and Power over Ethernet by IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt. Sealed bulkhead builds are rated to IP67 per IEC 60529 in both the mated and capped condition. Material and compliance documentation (UL, CE, RoHS, REACH) is provided per build on request; figures that depend on a specific construction are stated on the build drawing rather than generalised here.
