Hi there,

I have an RJ45 port in the wall which needs to be in use. I’ll be moving a piece of furniture soon which will be (almost) right up against the wall. This will restrict the space in front of the port. The cable connected to the port will have to drastically bend at the connection point and I’m worried that’ll be a problem.

I’ve found some 90 degree RJ45 male connectors online which seem appropriate. This way the cable won’t have to bend. Any experience with these?

Any other advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance

    The furniture won’t be flush with the wall so I might try it out. If you have any suggested brands I’d be happy to hear. Currently looking at some options on AliExpress but they’ll be more miss than hit I think…

      I don’t recall the brands unfortunately, but I doubt that any would introduce any serious bottlenecks. I’d buy a few different looking ones to try and then just go with the best, especially if they’re from AliExpress.
