Rj45 cable optimized for low space

I've not seen such a product.

If you are plugging the cables in to wall jacks (not stated), perhaps you could replace the faceplates with angled faceplates. They permit the cable to enter the jack at a shallow angle; relieving strain and requiring less physical distance from the obstructing object.

The following is not a recommendation, just the first example that I located:

Thanks for the idea I will use it in the future, but this time I have no faceplate.

What are the cables being plugged into (patch panel, host), and what is the physical structure that is causing the space issue?

I have two uncommon situations:

- home teather pc in a very small enclosure under tv (no additional holes admitted...)

- fibre channel hdd in two cases not big enough (if you want to understand this look at:

You had better make sure you have adequate ventillation to adequately cool that PC. They often have small/no fans and require free-air placement. A closed back cabinet may lead to heat-death.

I have not seen and "elbow" or right-angle RJ45s. But you can cut boots off and slit jacket and bend tightly. This isn't exactly spec, and may be somewhat unreliable.

If I was desperate and had a cripming tool I would try a cable with the sheath removed at the connector.

Not a professional solution but it might work and for home use who would care?

It is more likely to work at lower speed 10/100/1000.

One day I needed a crossover cable at home and I just tried cutting a patch lead in half and twisting the wires together.

Worked fine at 10M.
