Retrofitting a cabinet? Installing newer, deeper equipment? Want to make sure your
cabinet door closes?
In high-density configurations, cabinet space is becoming an increasingly scarce commodity. Gain space in
your cabinets (and ensure the door will close) by using our exclusive SpaceGAIN 90° Patch Cables. You can
save up to 10cm of space in front of your patch panels and rack-mounted equipment. That’s significant
when every centimeter counts in today’s high-density data centers. If you’ve ever retrofitted cabinets or
installed extra-deep equipment, you’ve probably run into the problem of not being able to close the cabinet
door. SpaceGAIN solves the problem. Better yet, you’ll save both time and money by eliminating cable
managers.
The down and up cables are ideal for data center applications. Use them for high-density patch panel
connections. Tame the cable chaos on your desk with the right and left cables. Use them for quick laptop
connects and disconnects. They’re also ideal for tight wallplate connections behind desks and other furniture.
Save even more space...
... with this SpaceGAIN combo:
• CAT5e/CAT6 90° Angle Cables
• 48-Port, 1U High-Density Feed-Through
Patch Panels
To fit 48 ports in only 1U, the patch panel
connectors face up on the top row and down
on the bottom row as indicated by the tab
area. To achieve the tight, neat configuration
as shown above, use 90° Down Cables for
both rows. This may seem counter intuitive.
But the “Down” cable has a clip facing down.
Just use it upside down for the top row of the
patch panel.
Left–Straight Cable
The clip is on the bottom
and the connector faces
left. Shown:
EVNSL27E-0003-90LS
The clip is on the
bottom and the
connector faces right.

EVNSL21E-0003-90RS
Right–Straight Cable
The clip is on the bottom
and the cable runs
down. Shown:
EVNSL21E-0003-90DD
Down–Down Cable
The down clip faces down
and the cable runs down.
The up clip faces down
and the cable runs up.

To order, replace the “X“s with the number assigned to each color.
CAT5e Blue = 21 Red = 23 Yellow = 24
Black = 27
CAT6e Blue = 216 Red = 236 Yellow = 246
Black = 276
Then replace the “YY“ with the letters assigned to each
orientation.
90° Down - 180° Straight = DS
90° Down - 180° Up = DU
90° Down - 180° Down = DD
90° Right - 180° Straight = RS
90° Left - 180° Straight = LS
Example: EVNSL21E-0003-90RS signifies a CAT5e blue, 3-foot,
90° right connector to a straight connector cable.
