RJ45 port with minimal clearance (lemm.ee)

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

I've never heard of any of the brands that come up so I can't recommend any of them. I just searched for "RJ45 90 degree adapter" and found a number of options.
